Metal End Table Appraisal

Metal and Wicker End Table with Drawer

This is a rectangular end table constructed primarily from a combination of metal and wicker materials, giving it a transitional or rustic-contemporary aesthetic. The framework of the table, including the legs and top trim, appears to be made of a sturdy, possibly brushed or antiqued, gray-finished metal. The top surface of the table is covered with a tightly woven light-brown wicker or rattan, forming a durable and attractive surface. Beneath the top, there is a single, large pull-out drawer, also constructed from woven wicker/rattan, featuring a single, visibly round, metallic knob for opening. Below the drawer, there's an open shelf area, designed for additional storage, which also incorporates a wicker/rattan base. The bottom of the table, just above the floor, features decorative metal scrollwork on all visible sides, adding an ornamental touch and indicating a certain level of craftsmanship. The overall condition appears good with no obvious signs of significant damage like breaks or large scratches. There might be minor wear consistent with its age and use, such as slight scuffs on the metal or minor fraying of the wicker, but these are not clearly discernible in the provided image. The metal frame shows a consistent finish, suggesting some care in its manufacturing. The item likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, aligning with trends combining natural materials with industrial or contemporary metal frames. The integration of different materials is a key design element, providing both visual interest and functionality.
