Midcentury Spider Coffee Table

I was psyched to activate all of the new vintage items today(!!!), and one of my FAVORITE things (besides this, this and this) was this fabulous midcentury modern spider coffee table with a brass tray top.  The tray can be lifted off and the base folds up completely, if need be.  It's totally gorgeous.


It reminds me of Ellen Pompeo's table, recently featured in Elle Decor...

  1. I spent yesterday going though "antique" stores looking at mid-century modern furniture. If I had seen this table, I would have bought it! It's fun to see "what's old is new again!"

  3. I think that issue featured the same table in two different spreads w/ the same stylist - I need to double check.

    My parents have one in their attic. OUr neighbor owned a store in the mall full of Korean imports and they bought it from him in the 80s. It looked way outdated and weird in the 90s, and now it's back!

  4. I actually have this coffee table and is for sale. It was purchased in Bangkok in 1963. Feel free to contact me if you would like to see pictures.
