Fine Quality Marble Top Carved Walnut Center Table Attributed Gustave Herter
By Gustave Herter
Located in Swedesboro, NJ
Large American Renaissance Revival Center Table Attributed to Gustave Herter – Exquisite 19th-Century Craftsmanship
This extraordinary Renaissance Revival center table attributed to Gustave Herter exemplifies the grandeur and sophistication of mid-19th-century American design. Crafted in rich walnut with inlaid marquetry detailing, the table features a white marble top encircled by a finely cast gilt-bronze frieze of classical anthemion motifs. Below, a sculptural apron is adorned with alternating gilt accents and carved scrolls, supported by three architecturally fluted legs embellished with neoclassical motifs and crossed ribbon inlays. The base converges into a central urn pedestal atop a tripod stretcher terminating in massive paw feet, symbolizing strength and majesty.
This table embodies Herter’s signature blend of German precision and American opulence, combining classical European influences with bold decorative innovation.
About Gustave Herter (1830–1898):
Born in Stuttgart, Germany, Gustave Herter immigrated to New York in the 1840s, where he became one of America’s foremost cabinetmakers. He later partnered with his brother in the famed firm Herter Brothers, whose clients included Vanderbilt, Astor, and Ulysses S. Grant. Their work defined Gilded Age interiors through extraordinary craftsmanship, elaborate carving, and luxurious materials.

Wooden Coffee Table, Fishes Series 20 by Joel Escalona
Located in Ciudad de México, CDMX
Fishes is a series of sculptural coffee tables inspired by the famous Fish (1930) sculpture of Rumanian artist Constantin Brancusi. Brancusi's work has been widely regarded as a masterpiece of modern art, and his Fish sculpture remain an iconic symbol of his artistic vision.
The Fishes Coffee Tables series is a tribute to Brancusi's mastery of creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. Each coffee table in this collection is meticulously shaped from natural finish or black-tinted oak wood or walnut.
The design process for the Fishes Coffee Tables collection was deeply stimulated by Brancusi's Fish sculpture, with each coffee table featuring soft and rounded forms that capture the fluidity and motion of aquatic life with simplicity and elegance. The sculptural forms of the Fishes Coffee Tables by NONO Furniture reflect this aesthetic, evoking a sense of quietness and stillness.
The natural beauty and rich texture of oak and walnut create a warm and inviting atmosphere that is both elegant and sophisticated, making the Fishes Coffee Tables collection a perfect addition to any home decor.

Antique and Vintage Center Tables
An alluring sitting area doesn’t have to be in the exact center of the room, but an antique or vintage center table is a great tool to partition off such an area.
By definition, a center table is a piece of furniture that is placed in the center of a room. Initially these appeared in the foyer or entryway before making their way into the living room. While one might keep seating furniture such as sofas against the walls to avoid limiting movement and closing off space, a center table in the living room can fill this central space without restricting the flow of the room.
One of the purposes of a center table is to anchor the rest of the furniture. It draws the eye to a specific area and invites guests to sit down. When thinking about how you’ll arrange your furniture, a good rule of thumb is to set tables an arm’s length away from seating. For instance, place a coffee table about 18 inches from a sofa so that it is within reach but not too close. In more modern layouts, tables are sometimes placed to the side to leave a large open area for foot traffic.
Because of its central position, a center table is one of the first things people will notice when entering a room. It’s important to consider how a center table can add to a room, as it’s a crucial element for defining the feel and theme of a room. Some center tables are mainly for decor, while others can be a great place to sit around over cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Center tables are perfect for displaying decorative objects, floral arrangements, books or a cluster of prized antique vases given the prominent position of your table and the attention it will get.
The clean lines and organic forms that we typically associate with mid-century modern center tables means that they will bring a dose of sophistication to a space, and examples from the era can be found in square and round shapes. Wood tables were popular with furniture makers of the period, but versions in glass and marble are also widely available. Because Art Deco designers frequently incorporated ornamental embellishments such as exotic animal hides and veneers in their seating, case pieces and other furniture, your Art Deco center table will likely make a strong statement in any room. Alternatively, if you’re searching for something small and unassuming, Regency tables could be an option for your space.
