A striking example of mid-century Hollywood Regency design, this sculptural Lotus coffee table is widely attributed to Theodore Muller and Isabelle Barringer for Kittinger Furniture. The dramatic circular top features a richly decorated faux tortoiseshell-style lotus medallion created through a spattered paint process, framed by a black lacquer border and accented with a luminous gilt finish. The substantial top rests on an architectural black lacquer pedestal composed of geometric open fretwork, creating a bold silhouette from every angle. Professionally refurbished, the table has been carefully polished to a high-gloss finish, while the pedestal has been refinished in black to enhance its original visual presence. It remains structurally sound and presents beautifully, with only minor wear consistent with age and use. Designs of this model have been consistently attributed by leading dealers and auction houses to Theodore Muller and Isabelle Barringer for Kittinger and remain highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for their sculptural presence and timeless Hollywood Regency aesthetic. Our attribution is based on extensive comparative research across leading galleries, auction houses, and historical references associated with this model. Dimensions Diameter: 47.5 in. Height: 14 in.
