Retro End Tables Appraisal

Mid-Century Modern Hollywood Regency Style Brass and Glass End Tables (Pair)

This lot consists of a pair of Mid-Century Modern Hollywood Regency style end tables. Each table features a circular clear glass top with a brass rim, which appears to be polished or plated. The glass tops rest upon a distinctive brass base, characterized by a series of elegantly curved and intertwined brass flat bars or straps that form a sculptural, openwork design. These curved elements are securely attached to a circular brass band at the top, supporting the glass, and another matching brass band at the bottom, forming the stable base. The brass exhibits a warm, golden hue, typical of the Hollywood Regency aesthetic, suggesting a polished brass finish. There is visible evidence of patina, light scratching, and possibly some minor tarnishing on the brass, consistent with age and use, particularly noticeable in the reflections and darker areas of the metalwork. The construction appears robust, with visible joins indicating careful craftsmanship. The design features a symmetrical and graceful arrangement of the curved brass supports, creating an airy yet substantial visual presence. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image. The overall style points to a circa 1960s-1970s manufacturing period, reflecting the glamor and sophistication of the Hollywood Regency era, often characterized by metallic finishes, glass, and elegant forms. The quality of the brass work suggests a well-made piece of furniture that would have been a high-end item for its time.
