T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Widdicomb; Biomorphic Cocktail Table

Furniture collecting.  In the early 1950's, if you had exceptional style, ample space and a plentiful decorating allowance, you might have chosen (or at least coveted) the 'Mesa' table designed by T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings for Widdicomb.  Today, the same holds true.  But your plentiful allowance would have to be exuberant.  Last year a 'Mesa' table sold at auction for $143,000.00 U.S.

In the early 1950's, if you had exceptional style, and fell in love with the 'Mesa' table, but your space didn't allow for its monumental 72" x 50" size, you might have opted for a smaller and sleeker of Gibbings' biomorphic designs for Widdicomb.  Today, the same holds true.  In store now is a fully restored Model 1759 biomorphic cocktail table designed by Gibbings for Widdicomb.  It's one of his most desirable tables and an elegant beauty from every angle.  It's signed and dated.  54" l., 28" w., 16" h.  American, c. 1952  SOLD
Condition:  Very good restored condition.
