Octagonal Extendable Dining Table By Mario Sabot, Marble And Metal (italy, Ca. 1970)

The Les Merciers Gallery is privileged to present this spectacular octagonal dining table, an authentic creation by Italian designer Mario Sabot dating from the 1970s.

A true masterpiece of Hollywood Regency design, this sculptural table channels geometric opulence into the art of entertaining. Its expansive octagonal tabletop, finished with a luxurious genuine burl veneer, rests in perfect balance on a majestic faceted central leg. This bold architectural design offers the immense advantage of completely freeing up the seating area for the comfort of guests. The table’s lines are further enhanced by elegant double metal inlays that run the full depth of the tabletop and base.

Highly functional and designed for large receptions, its architecture conceals an ingenious center-extension mechanism (integrated butterfly system), allowing the dining space to be adjusted with absolute fluidity.

Condition and Authenticity:This centerpiece is in excellent original condition. The burl veneer has retained a spectacular mirror-like sheen that now reveals the full depth and richness of its natural grain. The extension mechanism is fully functional, and the structure is highly stable. As a piece that bears the marks of its history, it shows very slight superficial signs of wear inherent to its age, which attest to its authenticity and high-end character.
