Mid-Century Walnut Coffee Table by American of Martinsville

A vintage mid-century coffee table designed by Merton Gershun for American of Martinsville from Snowdrift Antiques.
 
This is one of the most rare coffee tables by American of Martinsville.  It is from the late 1960s to early 1970s.  It was designed by Merton Gershun. He was a prolific designer of American mid-century modern furniture. His most well known lines for American of Martinsville are the Dania and Accord lines.  This coffee table is neither of those and extensive research has failed to uncover the name of the line. 
 
Whatever line it is from, it is a gorgeous and hard to find mid-century modern walnut coffee table. It has two angled magazine or book storage spaces on top.  On one end is a well disguised drawer for holding remotes or other items. The legs are rectangular and are clad on two sides with brass strips. It has stretcher bars along the length of both sides for support and less visible support bars on the narrow ends. 
 
It is marked “American of Martinsville” in the drawer. Underneath is the key to its line name with the stencil “604-30 / LOT 640”. 
 
This table is in excellent vintage condition. It has age appropriate wear and imperfections, but no water rings or large areas of discoloration.  It was used and enjoyed but taken care of.
 
It measures 60 inches long by 22 ½ by 15 ½ high.
 
We also have a matching end table in this shop.
