Coffee table from mid-century France made with a cast brass structure. The rectangular structure is enclosed with glass. There is a working lock and key that opens up the display area for functionality. The bottom of the display area is mirrored. The brass structure is supported on each end by legs that mimic the rectangular lines of the piece. We especially love the unique opportunities this display case provides. It is in excellent vintage condition – the photos accurately depict the condition.

Originating in the 1950s-1960s, the Mid-Century Modern movement was based on functionality, simplicity, and an organic elegance. Many designers of the period championed the concept that good design could be for everyone. The material itself was used to create the design and dynamic beauty of the piece instead of relying on decorative ornamentation. New technologies gave way to new materials, such as vinyl and resin. Many designers and critics regard the Mid-Century Modern design aesthetic as honest and appealing. These qualities have helped the pieces stay relevant in a quickly changing world. As an interior style, Mid-Century Modern highlights notions of functionality and modern ease.
