This is a 1960s vintage smoked glass top coffee table/center table by Myer, a long-established British furniture manufacturer.
The glass corners appear to be slightly floating, and the curved leg frames and other intricate finishes are impressive. This is a vintage piece from the golden age of British mid-century furniture, with a sophisticated and beautiful appearance that catches the eye.
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.
Founded in London in 1876, Horatio Myer & Co. Ltd., commonly known as Myer, started out as a manufacturer of bedding such as bed frames, and later expanded into other furniture. In the 1960s, they produced Danish-style coffee tables and side tables made of teak, and their high-quality furniture with simple and elegant designs became popular. They continue to manufacture beds and other items to this day, and are known as a long-established manufacturer with a strong reputation in the furniture industry.
