Conrad Fehn Furniture

Very rare, early 20th century craftsmanship end table. Finding the most beautiful and rarest antiques in the best possible condition is what we dream of and we have been very fortunate to have had many dreams come true.

His work predominantly involved smaller pieces, such as coasters, bowls, candle holders, some clocks and a few table lamps. Even though this is not a large piece of furniture, we have never before seen a table of his hand.
