Mid-century End Table, Lane Tuxedo

A mid-century end table from the rare Tuxedo line of Lane Furniture offered by Snowdrift Antiques.
 
The Lane Furniture Company was founded in Altavista, VA in 1912. For decades they were known for their cedar chests. By 1950 they saw Danish modern furniture imports begin to take hold in households. The Tuxedo line of Lane furniture is often called “the bow tie collection” for its striking use dark rosewood inlays in a bow tie shape. This line was designed by Ernest Swarts and O.B. Solie. The Tuxedo line was introduced in 1959 and produced for only a few years.
 
This flat end table is model 0921-05. It features a runner bar on two sides that is attached to the top with two small bow tie shaped supports, continuing the tuxedo theme. There is a low shelf underneath. The legs taper gracefully.
 
It measures 21 inches by 28 by 20 high.  The serial number underneath tells us it was made on June 13, 1959, the first year of the Tuxedo line’s production.
 
This table is in excellent vintage condition. It has been lightly refinished on top, but retains the original look of the walnut grain. There is a very small blemish on one corner of the underneath shelf.
 
This is a solidly made, unusual Lane end table.
