Side table, gold-tone brass, clear glass, France, 1960s.

A brass side table from the 1960s is an example of French craftsmanship, combining solid, high-polish brass with transparent, polished glass. The square top with bevelled edges rests on a structure with geometric symmetry, where the fluted, tapering legs are finished with small, round feet. Stability is provided by horizontal brass rods, and the corners are accentuated by large, spherical brass details. The visual harmony of clean lines and proportions fits within the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic with classic references. The materials – brass and glass – remain in very good condition, with no visible signs of patina, damage, or restoration. All elements are carefully fitted, and the corner fixings are visible yet discreet. The table is preserved in good condition, typical of the 1960s. This piece carries the voice of French modernism: it tells of an era where simplicity met subtle decoration. The mirror-like shine of the brass reflects the light of the interior, while the clear glass top seems to invite a dialogue between form and function. The spherical details in the corners evoke golden accents of classic elegance, as if the table whispers of Parisian salons, where both comfort and refined detail mattered. The table can be paired with a sofa with rounded shapes or a low armchair in period style, creating a harmonious arrangement in a Mid-Century Modern-inspired living room. It will also fit well in more eclectic settings, where golden brass complements dark wood, Murano glass, or a lamp with a geometric form. It is worth combining it with a neutral wall palette or a delicate rug, allowing the subtle reflections of brass to take centre stage in the relaxation space.
