Story
The early 1980s marked a dramatic departure from the dark, heavy aesthetics of the previous decade, ushering in a 'California Contemporary' look that prioritized light and space.
Maker / Origin
While no labels are visible, these tables are highly consistent with the output of the Lane Furniture Company of Altavista, Virginia, during their transition into contemporary styles.
Condition & Value
The wood shows minor surface scuffing and light finish wear on the lower legs consistent with age and vacuum cleaner contact. Value is driven by the current '80s Revival' trend in interior design.
