MCM Drexel Coffee Table by Kipp Stewart

Product details

Seller's Notes:A fully stamped and authenticated example of the Drexel Declaration cocktail table — one of the most iconic pieces from one of the most celebrated American MCM furniture collections. Designed by Kipp Stewart and Stewart MacDougall, stamped on the underside with model number 881-210-5, manufacturer Drexel, and a 1958 date code. The Declaration collection, made entirely in natural American black walnut, was selected in part to represent American design at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The cocktail table is defined by its "circle of circles" — a ring of inlaid rosewood dots at the center of the walnut top, one of the most recognizable decorative motifs in American mid-century furniture. The walnut is warm and well-figured with the characteristic Declaration border framing the top. Low profile, generous scale, tapered legs. Kipp Stewart, who worked with Charles and Ray Eames before the Declaration line, is recognized as a significant figure in American MCM design. Complete maker's documentation on the underside. The Declaration line is actively collected and consistently performs well across all secondary market platforms. A significant and fully documented piece of American furniture history. Dimensions: 60w 22d 15.25h Condition: age appropriate wear, vintage finish worn, scuffs/scratches, edge wear, discoloration, separation, see photos.
