Description

Listed for sale is a very rare Parallel Bar Series coffee table produced by Knoll Associates and designed by Florence Knoll. This table was specified with a solid walnut top (a very unusual detail) and parallel bar metal legs. This is a terrific early example, which highlights the original early 1950s 575 Madison Avenue label. Knoll had their showroom in this location starting in 1950 and only remained there for a couple of years. This is therefore dated to circa 1951. The condition is very good to excellent. The walnut top has been freshly re-oiled. The metal base retains a lovely and light patina. If desired, this can be further cleaned prior to shipping, though its originality is superb.
The table measures 15.25" tall and 42" in diameter.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
