A King of Tables

Circa 1950, a super chic Piero Fornasetti mahogany table inlaid with 22 English King George VI £1 sterling silver coins, 22 inches wide and 20 inches tall on brass legs. This would be a perfect table for one of our gold Barovier & Toso lamps from the same period. Recently acquired from an important private Italian collection.
Aside from it's stunning good looks the best thing about this table is that it is in flawless unrestored original condition.
