They all did it. Finn Juhl, Jens Risom, Greta Grossman, many of the great designers had a variation of the floating top table. It is a classic design that lives on today. This set has no makers marks on it but considering the top is walnut and by their general construction, I would say they are most likely American made. They remind me the most of Grossman's designs with the crossing stretchers and detail at the top of the legs. These were originally finished in a Heywood -Wakefield-like bleached finish. That has been stripped off and the walnut refinished its natural color with the legs dyed to match. The round coffee table has the original glass cover which is in good shape, no chips or cracks.
The top of the end table has gently curving sides to set it apart from an ordinary square table.
