George Cocktail Table (Large)
About this piece
An oval of smoky shell on a cat's cradle of slender metal rods.
The George Cocktail Table, large, is by Oly, in iron, resin and shell. Shell inlay has been used in furniture for centuries because each piece catches the light differently, giving a surface depth without color. Here a long oval top is laid with dark shell pieces radiating from the center. Beneath it, thin metal rods form a web of inverted triangles that meet in the middle and splay out to the floor. The base is available in antiqued gold or antiqued silver, the top in several finishes. It is 60 inches long, 25 deep and 16 high.
It looks delicate, and carries itself with the confidence of good engineering.
