This Mid-Century side table by Lane features a warm walnut base crowned with its original circular Carrera marble top. The contrast between the cool veining of the marble and the honeyed walnut frame gives it a refined, slightly traditional presence rather than a stark, ultra-modern look. Its tapered legs and triangular stretcher base add architectural interest while keeping the silhouette light and elegant. Made in the United States in the 1960s, it reflects that era’s move toward cleaner lines without abandoning classic materials. It remains in its original vintage condition, showing the gentle character and authenticity expected from a well-cared-for period piece.
Fun Historical Fact: Lane Furniture of Altavista, Virginia, was one of the key American makers that blended modern forms with familiar, high-quality materials in the postwar decades. In the 1960s they experimented with stone tops—like this marble example—to give living rooms a more upscale, continental feel without losing American practicality. Because of their solid construction and clear branding, Lane pieces from this era have become favorites among collectors of honest Mid-Century furniture.
