Title: Rare Mid-Century Modern "Et Cetera" Faux Book Coffee / Accent Table by John Dickinson for Drexel, USA, c. 1960s

About: Introducing a very rare coffee / end table designed by John Dickinson for Drexel and produced between 1961-1962 as part of a very limited edition design from Drexel's 'Et Cetera' collection. This playful table features three large Shakespeare books with vinyl book covers that make up the tabletop, with the middle book housing a clever pull-out drawer with a bookmark serving as the drawer pull.

The Drexel Furniture Co. began over a hundred years ago in Hickory, North Carolina with a single product and a simple vision. The product was a made-to-order dining chair. In the decades since, their product range has evolved into an assortment of timeless designs, drawn from significant periods and places, and from the talents of some of the world's most respected designers such as the aforementioned Dickinson. Drexel is still producing pieces to this day with much reverence given to their craftsmanship and use of natural materials.

The beveled oak molding and ball-end feet serve as the platform for the books. Black lacquered resin rods and nuts serve as the stretchers. Due to the cost and intense hand work required to make these tables, they were offered for only a short time in the early 1960's. With so few of these splendid tables available for sale and even fewer still in such excellent original, vintage condition this whimsical table won't last long. Make it yours today before it's gone forever.

Period: 1960s

Condition Details: This rare "Et Cetera" end table is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection! The intentionally patinaed oak frame shows only minor signs of vintage wear such as minor surface scratches and nicks (the worst of which can be seen in the detail photos provided) but showing no gouges, stains or other wear whatsoever.

The three-book table top shows some minor wear on the vinyl such as small stains and areas of minor discoloration which can be seen in both the natural light video and detail photos provided. The titles of the books too is slightly faded but still legible. The single drawers opens and closes with ease.

This playful table is functional, structurally solid and ready for a lifetime more of use. Please view all photos and video provided for details on this table's current condition. We're limited on the amount of media we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request.
