This handsome, masculine design in solid old-growth mahogany, is distinguished by the muscular orb carving on the legs and the sharply flaring feet. Removed from the original custom interiors of the executive suite of the Stockholms Gasverks, designed in 1906 by Gustav Ferdinand Boberg, Sweden’s most prolific and highly regarded Art Nouveau architect.
As was typical for Boberg projects, Interior lighting and furnishings for the building are believed to have been custom designed by the architectural firm to create a whole unified environment. The table was constructed in the early cabinet-making factory of Nordiska Kompaniet, who’s landmark department store was also designed by Boberg a few years later. Bearing metal NK tag and inventory tag. The versatile size lends itself for use as a writing table, center table, serving table, or console.
