John Herbert furniture, made by A Younger in the 1960s and sold through Heal’s, is highly collectable and opportunities to own are increasingly rare. This elegant coffee table from their award-winning Fonseca range is one of the more scarce examples which features a rattan undershelf.

This is a solidly built, reassuringly heavy coffee table with elegant lines and sumptuous wood grain. The table has been stripped and sanded back to the bare wood before being re-waxed for lasting resilience and beauty.

CONDITION: The table is sturdy, stable, reassuringly heavy, and in very good vintage condition. In the interests of complete transparency, there is a repair to the top of one leg at the joint (shown in close detail in the photos), but the repair is so good that unless you’re playing “spot the repair” with a magnifying glass, you’d be hard pushed to notice it. There are of course other typical signs of wear including some small gaps in the rattan, but the overall condition is extremely good, and this remains a striking piece of furniture which will undoubtedly attract admirers.   

Detailed photos, which form an important part of the description, are provided so you can examine every aspect of the table, but request further photos if there is something you want to see in more detail.
