Small Round Sheaf of Wheat Gold Glass Side Table - France

About the Item

A small round Hollywood Regency gilt sheaf of wheat drink or side table with a glass top. This petite table features a round base with faux bamboo gilt legs. At the center, the gilt gold base features tall pieces of sculptural metal crafted to look like sheaves of wheat. The "spike" (or ear or head as they are called) on the top of each sheaf features beautifully crafted leaf-like pieces. This highly coveted occasional table was first made classic by Coco Chanel in her 31 Rue Cambon apartment in Paris. This table is nearly identical. Similar pieces have also been created for Yves St. Laurent in the 1970s. Gabrielle Chanel was a woman of many passions and just as many good-luck charms. The designer was particularly fond of sheaves of wheat—not only because they’re a universal symbol of prosperity, but because they also symbolize harvest time, which coincided with her birth date, August 19. In France, wheat is a symbol of prosperity and wealth. Therefore it would be a wonderful piece to add glamour (and luck!) to any room as a coffee table or side table. This timeless piece will light up any room. Karl Lagerfeld paid homage to Chanel by using wheat sheaves in his Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It is rumored that Salvador Dali gifted Coco Chanel with the one in her Paris apartment. Dimensions: 24" Diameter 22" Tall

A tall yellow Americana tole lamp and table combo with a hand-painted eagle motif. We rarely come across these, and when we did, our minds were blown!

Rustic Antique Early American Iron and Glass Accent or Side Table - 1900s Tulsa
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A rustic early American iron and glass accent table. This table was taken from the estate of an Oklahoma oilman in Tulsa Oklahoma. His estate is located next door to the Belvedere House in Downtown Tulsa. The home in itself is a historical home. We were very excited to get ahold of a piece that was part of the original interior. The rectangular table is made up of distressed iron legs, and glass at the top. Tables like this were often created by ranch hands living on the properties. It is unknown if this was created in this manner, or if it was a purchase from a shop. Either way, it is a wonderful piece that was very well made. We love the idea of using this table on a front porch, garden or patio. Perhaps a patio that has black and white checkered tile...
