Rare Brandon table from the early days of G-Plan, finished in mid oak and dating from the early 50s. Drawer opening from both sides and shelf with glass top over two slats, splayed legs. E Gomme stamp inside drawer.
This G-Plan Brandon coffee table was known as a Cocktail Table - the glass top was for cocktails before a meal. It is a compact well designed piece which suits many contemporary homes.
G-Plan began in 1953 with just one range of furniture, Brandon, finished in light or mid oak. Light oak was the fashionable look in the early 50s, mid oak, meant to appeal to traditionalists, was much less popular. Consequently today most surviving Brandon is in light oak. As a result, this mid oak piece is a rare survivor.
