Extra large pencil reed rattan bamboo pedestal table, Italy, 1970s–1980s

We currently have two of these xxtra large pedestal table made of pencil reed rattan, attributed to Italy, 1970s–1980 available. The cylindrical shaft is built from thin, evenly spaced canes laid in a continuous diagonal spiral. The top is made of concentric rings of cane with a slightly dished centre and a stepped edge. The shaft stands on a wider, stepped round plinth, also in concentric rings. The finish is a warm honey tone with a light sheen. At 74 cm high with a 67 cm top, it is considerably larger than the pedestal tables usually seen in pencil reed. It works as a side table, a console-height display table, or a base for sculpture or a large plant. Good vintage condition, structurally sound. Minor wear consistent with age, including light scuffs on the top edge and plinth rim, a few small nicks to individual canes, and some slight colour variation. Height: 74 cm. Top diameter: 67 cm. Base diameter: 73 cm.
