Item Description

Pair 1960’s Greaves + Thomas lamp or bedside tables.

Sold originally as lamp tables they’ll also make great bedside tables if you have the space. Greaves and Thomas made good quality pieces until the late 1960’s when they were taken over by Schreiber. These tables are beautifully made with nice simple detailing like the brass trumpet handles and the ebonised recessed banding which gives a look of the drawers floating above the legs.

The Greaves and Thomas catalogue we have says they were available in 3 finishes so you’ll see them also in teak or dark mahogany whereas these are in a stripy wood which we think is sapele. They had a darkish varnished finish which hid the golden colour of the sapele so we’ve left it with a natural oiled finish which we think is nicer.

The designer Walter Cornell apparently worked for Greaves and Thomas as their in-house designer at the time. There is no mention of him in the catalogues we have, nor have we found any information about him online or from research we’ve done so if anyone can tell us anything about him we’d be pleased to hear from you.

Condition
Cleaned and oiled with no obvious marks or scratches. As with all vintage pieces you do have to expect to see some minor signs of wear on all vintage furniture if you look very closely.
