This Art Deco occasional table from 1930 is constructed from walnut veneer in a warm brown colour with a waxed and polished finish. The piece comprises a circular top showing a book-matched veneer pattern with a central diamond motif, supported by three curved legs and two lower tiered shelves of differing diameters. The top tier is shaped with a scalloped edge and the bottom tier is fully round, connecting down to looped feet. Practical dimensions are 69.3 cm high by 58.5 cm wide by 58.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this tiered table functions well as an end table at the side of a sofa or as a compact display stand in a hallway or living room. The open shelving provides space for lamps, small decorative objects or books, while the compact footprint suits smaller rooms and corners.

FAQs

Art Deco furniture, emerging in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric shapes, clean lines, and lavish wood veneers. Occasional tables from this era frequently feature rounded forms, tiered surfaces, and distinctive bentwood or curved legs.

Cabinetmakers primarily used rich hard wood veneers such as walnut, mahogany, maple, and burr oak laid over stable timber cores. Book-matched veneering, where timber slices are mirrored to create geometric pattern work, was a standard decorative technique.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate construction, such as hand-cut dovetails, original shellac or lacquer finishes, and genuine natural timber aging. Look for book-matched grain symmetry and signs of hand-finished cabinetmaking rather than modern machine edge-banding.

A compact Deco table functions well as a functional accent alongside contemporary seating, such as a modern tailored sofa or velvet armchair. Its warm timber tones and geometric silhouette complement both minimal contemporary spaces and eclectic period settings.

Keep the wood away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer lifting and light fading. Dust regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically to maintain the surface finish.
