This four-tier table in cherry and black lacquered wood is a rare decorative conversation piece, designed. This model was designed in 1941 and was a part of restoration of the Copenhagen courthouse, which Gottlob supervised. It was made in one wood/color for the courthouse.

The table has patina/signs of age and use, the black table top as color loss which can be renovated but I recommend keeping some of it for the feeling of 80+ years of life. One small black leg has been replaced by professional due to damage to original. Overall a beautiful piece of furniture and a true collectors gem.

Provenance: the table was found in a small countryside auction in Värmland Sweden. Sadly not any information is known to how it came to Värmland or previous owner. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
