Italian Blue Glass + Chrome Coffee Table Attributed to Cristal Arte, 1970s

$4,800.00

An Italian coffee table from the 1970s, attributed to Cristal Arte. The rectangular form stretches just over four feet in width, its chromed steel frame housing two tiers of sapphire-blue glass.

Each shelf is finished with mirrored edges, a subtle detail that amplifies the table’s luminosity and lends depth to its geometric structure.

An expression of Italian modernism, it makes a bold visual statement while anchoring a living space or gallery-like interior.

Cristal Arte, founded in Turin in 1944, epitomized Italian modernism through its mastery of glass and bold architectural design. By the 1970s, the atelier was renowned for its sculptural mirrors and furnishings crafted in tinted, beveled, and mirrored glass with brass or chrome accents.

Each piece reflects the era’s glamour and precision — a fusion of craftsmanship and innovation that continues to feel timeless and rare today.
