Seller's Notes:This table is a stellar piece. After Diego Giacometti (Swiss, 1902-1985), 'Table Berceau' style, seconde version. Low table base in heavy cast metal with "patinated bronze" surface. 5/8" thick glass top. Designed circa 1965, unmarked. Excellent condition.

The present Berceau low table is a particularly early example, having been acquired from Diego Giacometti in 1969, just three years after the death of his brother Alberto. Following decades working as brother’s assistant, Diego was just beginning to turn his full attention to his own designs at the time this table was cast. In keeping with Diego’s earlier furniture, the table is unsigned. A handwritten note signed and dated by Diego Giacometti attests that the artist sold the present example, along with a Figure floor lamp and an Étoile table lamp, to Irvin Shapiro in 1969.
