About the Item

Prized equally as a work of art and as a dining table this masterpiece by Gerald McCabe is a one of a kind creation that has stood the test of time. The table top and leaves, cut from a solid piece of African shedua wood, create a unique, captivating design with beautifully flamed grain lining up on all three sections. Versatile as well as beautiful; removing the cresent shaped outer leaves converts the six to eight seat oval table into a round pedestal; accented by McCabe's trademark solid wood propeller shaped base. This table as designed and made in California in 1968 by Gerald McCabe for his Orange Crate Modern label. Gerald McCabe (1927-2010) was born in Long Beach, California. He attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School and served in the U. S. Navy during World War II. He received a bachelor's degree from UCLA and a master's from California State University Long Beach, in fine art. McCabe opened a custom furniture business in the mid-1950s and designed furniture for companies such as Brown Saltman and Glenn of California. In the 1960s and 1970s, McCabe designed and produced his own lines under the names Erin Furniture and Orange Crate Modern. McCabe's creations are known for their modern lines, precision joinery and the combining of wood, glass and steel. McCabe received recognition throughout his career, with his furniture designs included in the Case Study House #21 by architect Pierre Koenig. A famous photograph by Julius Shulman shows Koenig standing by a stereo cabinet designed by McCabe. McCabe's first wife was a folk singer, and as a result of McCabe's reputation as a master woodworker, his wife's friends brought guitars to him for repair. This side business evolved into McCabe's Guitar Shop, a music institution in Santa Monica, which became a gathering spot for music fans and musicians. McCabe, known as a free spirit, also restored and sailed a tugboat, taught design at area universities and art schools, was a yoga instructor, repaired Citroen automobiles, raced cars and built his own home in Santa Monica Canyon. As an added note for those of us who are Venice CA locals aficionados: McCabe's studio was located on what was then West Washington (better known today as Abbot Kinney Blvd). Table center diameter, without the additional leaves attached, measures 47.5" Diameter
