Scandinavian Coffee Table Appraisal

Mid-Century Modern Wood and Glass Coffee Table

This is a rectangular coffee table, likely dating from the mid-20th century, featuring a minimalist and functional design indicative of the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. The table is constructed primarily of wood, appearing to be a light-colored hardwood such as oak or maple, finished with a warm, natural stain that highlights its grain. The top surface of the table is a solid wood panel that is flanked by two recessed square glass inserts, one on each end. Between these two glass sections, the wood surface continues. The edges of the table top are distinctly beveled, adding a subtle touch of sophistication and contour to the otherwise rectilinear form. The base of the table consists of two solid wooden end supports, which descend vertically from the table top to the floor. These supports are connected by a full-length wooden shelf positioned approximately two-thirds of the way down from the tabletop, creating a second tier for storage or display. The overall construction appears sturdy and well-crafted, with clean lines and visible joinery that speaks to a good level of craftsmanship. No significant condition issues like deep scratches, major dents, or structural damage are visible in the provided image. The glass inserts appear clear and intact, though minor surface wear or dust might be present. The wood finish shows a consistent sheen, suggesting it has been reasonably well-maintained. The simple, geometric form with integrated elements points towards a practical yet stylish piece of furniture.
