Maitland-Smith Tessellated Brown Marble Dining Table 1970s 1980s

A stunning dining table from american design powerhouses maitland-smith, imported from a texan ranch and originating from the late 1970s. This piece consists of tessellated emperador marble rectangles, placed together to create a dazzling and distinct pattern of rich browns, whites, and golds. Brass inlay strips complete this traditional base table. The whole table is sculpted in acrylic giving it this shape and laying all the little marbles pieces on top. A very thoughtful decision as this technique makes it more manageable in weight and stronger in time, unlike a solid piece of marble which would snap overtime. This is a fantastic example of american design as it looked towards the excess of the 1980s. Still a very modern and also a classic piece that is easy to combine with many styles of dining chairs and rooms. This table sits comfortably six people but it can also sit eight as you can see in the picture. Maitland-smith began life in the seventies, the brainchild of london antiques dealer paul maitland-smith. For years they have carved a reputation as an artisanal, innovative furniture makers, and their pieces are today highly sought-after. This dining table is part of a set, which includes a coffee table, and two exquisite chairs. Please enquire for more information about these. This dining table comes in two pieces, the base and the table top that fits on top easily, no tools needed. Please contact us for international shipping quotes. Creator: maitland-smith.
