Karl, Is That You?

It all started with this pin. It is a Karl Springer Asian Modern Coffee Table. Something about this pin stuck with me. 

I was sure I saw it on CL. I know, that would be too crazy, right? Notice the comment I made.

The pinner never responded...would you? 

Meet my new coffee table


Shooting a picture of brass is tricky, but bare with me...because I think it is a real Karl Springer. The owner had it listed all wrong. In fact, it was up for a long time, and I won't tell you how I found this one...sorry. Let's just say that it wasn't under anything you would have thought it would be. I am also not going to share the price, because if it is real....it's for sale!

Here is a similar table listed on 1st dibs
1st dibs $2,850.
There is a slight difference with this table, it does not have the ribs on the top piece holding up the glass....mine does.


Here is an Asian Style table on 1st dibs that is very similar to mine. This one is rectangular.

1st dibs $4,200.
 This detail is identical to mine

1st dibs $4,200.

Here is the table from the original pin. It is in London at Talisman. I inquired about this table, and here are some additional photos they sent me.

Karl Springer Table ~ $7,000 (US)
The rib detail I keep referring to.

Now, I don't want you to think the CL table is in perfect condition...it is not. There are a few of the ribs missing.


This is not difficult to mask with a creative solution. The glass is almost perfect...especially for its age.

I did a quick styled picture for you. 


See my jeans?

So, is this a Karl Springer table?
