RARE PIPSAN SAARINEN DAUGHTER OF EERO SAARINEN, VERY HEAVY FORGED WROUGHT IRON HAIRPIN LEGS AND CORNER PIECES. MADE FOR THE FICKS REED CO ONLY IN 1949 AND 1950. HERE’S A PARTIAL LISTING FROM 1ST DIBS ON THE TABLE, EXCELLENT PICTURES TO COMPARE. THIS TABLE FEATURED ON 1ST DIBS IS THE SMALLER END TABLE, MY TABLE IS A LARGE DINING TABLE AND COOL LOW BENCH OR COFFEE TABLE. HERE’S A 1950’S ADVERTISEMENT FROM FICKS REED THAT SHOWS THE SOL-AIR TABLES AND BENCH LINE. These are among several pieces called “SOL – AIR”. Very few examples survive. The “Sol – Air” line is pictured in major design references including George Nelson’s “Chairs” (1952). THE LEGS ARE WELDED TOGETHER INTO 2 SETS FOR EACH PIECE. I CAN SPLIT THE SET TOO. THE TABLE IS BIG ENOUGH TO USE AS A DINING TABLE. THE BENCH MEASURES 4 FEET LONG AND 18″ WIDE AND 18.5″ TALL. THE WOOD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AS YOU CAN SEE IT HAS BEEN PAINTED WHITE THROUGH THE YEARS. THE VARNISH THOUGH LOOKS TO STILL BE ON THE PLAIN WOOD STILL. I LOVED THE LOOK LIKE THIS AND LEFT THEM LIKE THEY ARE. VERY RARE TO HAVE THE SET. THESE ARE GOING FOR GOOD PRICES ON THE VARIOUS MID CENTURY MOD WEBSITES. THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS A GROUPING OF CHAIRS AND ONE END TABLE BY PIPSAN FOR FICKS REED FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE ON PIPSAN SAARINEN WORKS. THIS PICTURE FEATURES JUST THE END TABLE, I HAVE THE DINING TABLE AND A LOW BENCH/TABLE. WILL TAKE A REASONABLE OFFER! Check out my other items.
