About this seller
Product description
ABSURD LUXURY = Someone once thought it essential to have a dedicated mahogany table just for chilling wine. The kind of excess that feels both disgusting and absolutely necessary—because why wouldn’t you want your pet-nat served from a piece of furniture?
CONTEMPORARY CONFUSION = is half the charm. Use it for plants, bottles, books, or just let it sit there looking mysteriously important. The beauty of owning something this specific is that nobody quite knows what you're supposed to do with it—including you.
MATERIAL HONESTY = Richly grained mahogany that's only gotten better with age, paired with an oxidized metal liner that's earned its patina through decades of actual use. The neoclassical legs still hold their ground, removable tray still lifts out like it did in 1820.
SOCIAL ARCHAEOLOGY = in mahogany form. Built when entertaining meant entertaining, when the presentation of wine (apparently) carried the weight of civilization itself. It still elevates any gathering, even if that gathering is just you and takeout.
Historically significant, practically absurd, utterly essential.
Good antique condition. Wear consistent with age, including some scuffing and natural surface variations. Structurally solid and fully functional.
