Lane Furniture Mid-Century Two-Tier Step End Table Walnut Laminate Style 1041
Annihilate the landfill, rescue this atomic-age sidekick from oblivion
Lane Furniture of Altavista, Virginia built this two-tier step table when Eisenhower was still in office and it's still standing. Style No. 1041-07 features walnut-grain laminate surfaces over solid wood construction with that signature biomorphic cutout between levels. The brass-tone tapered legs with stretcher base scream 1958 in the best way. Surfaces are clean with good grain pattern; one leg shows paint loss at the base. Structurally solid, cosmetically honest.
The D'Beetle Difference • Documented Lane Production: Original maker's stamp clearly visible on underside: Lane, Style No. 1041-07, Serial No. 2862120. Virginia-made American mid-century, not a reproduction.
• Generous Proportions: Upper tier provides a perfect perch for a lamp or your Bakelite telephone. Total footprint fits beside most sofas.
• Atomic Age Silhouette: Curved cutout, softened corners, and tapered legs with brass-tone finish define the late 1950s aesthetic. The laminate tops survived decades of cocktails and coffee cups.
