Finding the most beautiful and rarest antiques in the best possible condition is what we dream of and we have been very fortunate to have had many dreams come true. When you look at this Arts & Crafts table then you can see that recently another one did. Conrad Fehn was born in Nuremberg, Germany, but moved to Haarlem, the Netherlands in 1914. In literature he is described, not as a metalworker, but as a ‘metal-artist’ and when you look at this table (and some of his other work) then you can see why (if you have a good eye). When he opened up his studio in Haarlem around 1917 his Arts and Crafts designs had a very distinctive style, one that very much alligned with the Amsterdam School. The reason why this table is so extremely rare, is because Conrad Fehn was not known for making furniture. His work predominantly involved smaller pieces, such as coasters, bowls, candle holders, some clocks and a few table lamps. Even though this is not a large piece of furniture, we have never before seen a table of his hand. This piece may not be signed or marked, but since we acquired this remarkable table in Haarlem, since it has Conrad Fehn’s workmanship and style ‘written all over it’ and after we asked an expert whom’s opinion we highly value, we are convinced this is the work of Conrad Fehn. The pure Arts and Crafts design, the size, the make and the patina of this table are to die for and for such a table to be in this condition simply amazed us. This burnished copper table of circa one hundred years even comes with a near mint table top and the copper too is hardly dented or scratched. The dents that are there, are actually supposed to be there. They are part of the organic design that you will find in many true Arts and Crafts pieces, because the designers in this era were going back to nature as their main source of inspiration. This makes a perfect table for having a plant or a work of art on display. If you already have a corner or another place in mind for this highly stylish, extremely rare and truly decorative Arts & Crafts table then we are certain you will love it for the rest of your days, because this kind of class and beauty will never go out of style and it will never fail to impress either.
