Lot 95:
Description
This occasional side table features an organic, free-form design characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century rustic furniture. The tabletop is composed of a solid, thick slab of highly figured burl wood, displaying intricate swirling grain patterns, natural voids, and an irregular live edge. The wood, potentially redwood or cedar, is finished with a polished amber-toned lacquer that enhances the natural figuring. The piece is supported by a heavy pedestal base formed from a natural tree stump or root cluster, which has been treated with a dark, contrasting brown-black finish. The overall form emphasizes the natural growth patterns and raw textures of the timber.
Condition report:
The table is in good condition, showing typical signs of age and use. The top surface exhibits light surface scratches and minor scuffs consistent with its vintage. Natural checking, fissures, and inclusions are present in the wood, which are inherent to the material and original to the design. The base is structurally sound with no evidence of significant damage or repair.
