Mid Century Carved Copper & Chrome Abstract Tile Coffee Table

A striking mid-century modern rectangular coffee table dating to the 1960s, featuring a beautifully carved copper-plated top arranged in a tile-like grid of abstract motifs. Each section displays its own unique pattern, creating a richly textured surface with strong artistic presence.

 

Over time, the copper plate has naturally oxidised, developing areas of verdigris patina that enhance its character and depth. The sculptural top is paired with sleek chrome legs, creating a bold contrast between organic surface detail and clean modern lines.

 

A highly decorative yet practical piece, perfect as a statement coffee table in a modernist, brutalist, or eclectic interior.
