Pair of Solid Brass & Smoked Glass Side Tables, 1970s

A pair of side tables with solid brass frames and inset smoked glass tops, produced in the 1970’s. Each table is constructed with a simple rectilinear form — slender brass legs and frame holding a single sheet of glass — giving them a light, architectural presence. The smoked glass softens reflections while contrasting with the warm golden tone of the brass.

Brass and glass combinations became popular in European furniture design during the 1970’s, reflecting both modernist influences and a growing taste for luxurious materials. The clean lines recall the clarity of modernism, while the brass adds a decorative element that aligns with the decade’s more glamorous interiors.

Compact and versatile, the tables can be placed as a pair or used individually. They work well as side tables for a sofa, nightstands, or display surfaces. Their timeless form makes them easy to integrate into both contemporary and vintage settings.

ABOUT BRASS & GLASS FURNITURE
Brass and glass tables became widely popular in the 1960’s and 1970’s, particularly in Italy, France and elsewhere in Europe. The combination offered both elegance and practicality: glass kept the forms light and transparent, while brass provided warmth, strength and a touch of luxury. Many such designs were produced by smaller workshops rather than large-scale manufacturers, making authentic vintage examples increasingly collectible today.
