This is a tiled low table by Nathan, one of the most representative furniture brands of the British mid-century.
A rare Nathan tile top table. An impressive item with tasteful handmade tiles inlaid. The vintage feel blends gently into the room and creates a relaxing space. The fact that it is less available than G-PLAN or McINTOSH also tickles the hearts of collectors.
After the war, modern Scandinavian design became very popular, and Scandinavian-style furniture began to be made in the UK as well. The UK's high level of technology and production capacity, which had a foundation in traditional furniture making, made it possible to produce high-quality furniture. Representative British manufacturers include G-PLAN, which was one of the first to adopt Danish design, and the long-established Scottish manufacturers AHMcIntosh and Nathan. There were also many other excellent Scandinavian-style furniture manufacturers. Scandinavian-style furniture made in the UK during the mid-century period is still highly regarded today for its quality and design that is comparable to authentic Scandinavian furniture, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.
This item was designed by Nathan, a British company during the mid-century period, but after Parker Knoll acquired the company in 1981, it is now sold by Parker Knoll.
