Pair Of Pieff Brass & Smoked Glass Side/Coffee Tables 1970s Mid Century Vintage Retro MCM
A striking pair of matching brass and smoked glass coffee tables by renowned British furniture manufacturer Pieff, dating from the 1970s.
Each table features a sculptural geometric base constructed from substantial cylindrical brass-finished metal tubes, arranged in an alternating, interlocking formation to create a distinctive architectural design.
The bases support square smoked thick glass tops, providing a contrast to the warm golden tones of the metalwork while allowing the unusual construction beneath to remain visible.
A wonderful example of the bold, geometric furniture designs associated with the 1970s, combining luxurious materials with a strong modernist aesthetic.
The brass-finished frames display an attractive aged patina, consistent with their vintage character.
An unusual opportunity to acquire a matching pair, ideal for use as coffee tables, large side tables or positioned at either end of a sofa.
A larger matching coffee table is available soon.

Pieff furniture was a range of avant-garde furniture designed and produced in Cradley Heath near Birmingham from 1953 until 1983.
Pieff of Worcester was one of the most important manufacturers of high-end British furniture during the 60s, 70s and early 80s, describing itself as ‘luxury furniture of the late 20th century’.
Pieff now personify British mid century design.
Pieff as we know today, was formed as “Production Facilities Limited” in 1953 by Frederick Bates and son David, and produced contract furniture for hospitals, coffee bars and canteens, and other commercial uses.
After Tim Bates joined, younger brother of David, the business in 1966, the company began to produce high-end furniture we know today.
Sold through Harrods, Heals and other prestigious shops, Pieff was synonymous with luxury. Globally recognised as one of the top brands, Pieff were particularly successful in the 1970s.
Tim Bates designed some of the most cutting-edge British furniture of the period. A design student with experience on the factory floor, Tim led the Design and Development of a new up-market product range in the late 1960s. Launched at the Decor Furniture Exhibition in May 1970, promotional photos displayed the furniture alongside Lamborghini supercars. In keeping with this Italian connection, the first two Pieff model ranges were named Eleganza and Suntuoso. Though initially created for the contract market, Pieff furniture was quickly aimed at retail customers.
A casualty of the industrial recession of the 1980s, Pieff Furniture went into receivership in May 1983. Then, local company PEL Ltd of Oldbury purchased the Pieff product range and remaining stock. Currently, the Pieff name belongs to P. F. Collections Ltd of Long Eaton, Nottingham.
