Walnut and Smoked Glass Table Set by John Keal for Brown Saltman

These tables are both excellent examples of beautifully designed pieces by John Keal.  The glass support structure and entire outer case is made of solid walnut which has elegantly curved cutouts and rounded profiling.  The walnut has an oiled finish that I just cleaned and restored and is nearly flawless.  Lane made variations similar to these but used veneered casework with black painted and squared edges.  The Brown Saltman pieces show much finer craftmanship.  Each table has a drawer integrated into the case for storage of remotes, etc.  Below the glass tops are full sized shelves for books, magazines or other items for display.  Each table rests on a matte black, recessed plinth base that disappears in the shadow of the table and gives a "floating" appearance.  Both tables have their original smoked glass tops which have some fine scratching but are in otherwise good condition.

These are beautifully made pieces that are hard to find individually and even more rare as a set.
