DISCOVER THE TIMELESS LEGACY OF LANE FURNITURE COFFEE TABLES

Lane Furniture's coffee tables stand as exemplars of American Mid-Century Modern craftsmanship, representing a perfect fusion of innovative design and exceptional durability. Since their introduction in the 1950s, these distinctive pieces have become increasingly sought-after among collectors, interior designers, and discriminating homeowners who recognize their enduring value and versatile aesthetic appeal.

The story of Lane's coffee table craftsmanship begins in their Altavista, Virginia workshops, where skilled artisans combined traditional woodworking techniques with modern design sensibilities. The brand's dedication to quality is evident in every piece, from their signature dovetail joints to their carefully selected wood grains. This commitment to excellence has ensured that vintage Lane coffee tables not only survive but continue to appreciate in both value and appeal over decades.

SIGNATURE COLLECTIONS AND DESIGN INNOVATIONS

The Acclaim series, introduced in 1959 under designer Andre Bus's direction, represents Lane's most celebrated coffee table collection. These pieces feature distinctive dovetailed walnut and oak construction, creating a dynamic interplay between light and dark wood tones. The collection's success lies in its ability to bridge traditional craftsmanship with modern silhouettes, making these tables particularly valuable for collectors and design enthusiasts.

Beyond Acclaim, Lane's collaboration with renowned designer Adrian Pearsall produced some of the era's most distinctive pieces. Pearsall's designs for Lane often featured sculptural bases supporting dramatic glass tops, creating coffee tables that function as architectural statements within a room. These pieces, particularly the boomerang and asymmetrical designs, command premium prices in today's vintage market.

STYLES AND VARIATIONS

Lane's coffee table portfolio encompasses a wide range of designs to suit various interior styles:

Kidney-shaped tables showcase graceful curves that add organic flow to living spaces, featuring walnut or oak tops supported by tapered legs or sculptural bases. These pieces work exceptionally well in open-concept rooms where their fluid form can be appreciated from multiple angles.

Rectangle and square tables often incorporate storage solutions, with many models featuring hidden compartments or smooth-gliding drawers. These functional pieces typically display Lane's signature wood selection and joinery while providing practical storage for living room essentials.

Round and oval tables, particularly those from the 1960s, often feature geometric bases or pedestal designs that epitomize Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. Glass-top versions allow the architectural bases to take center stage while creating a lighter visual footprint in the room.

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

Lane's material selection process was notably rigorous, primarily utilizing:

American Black Walnut, prized for its rich color and grain pattern
White Oak, selected for its durability and distinctive figure
Fruitwood, chosen for its warm tones and fine grain
Tempered glass, used in designer collections for its durability and visual impact

Each piece showcases precise joinery, with many featuring Lane's patented construction techniques that ensure exceptional durability. This attention to structural integrity explains why vintage Lane coffee tables frequently survive in excellent condition, requiring minimal restoration.

COLLECTING AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

When evaluating vintage Lane coffee tables, collectors should examine:

Original finish quality and patina development
Integrity of joints and structural elements
Presence of Lane manufacturer's marks
Historical documentation or original labels
Previous restoration work quality

The investment potential of Lane coffee tables continues to appreciate, particularly for pieces from the Acclaim series and Pearsall-designed collections. Well-maintained examples from these lines consistently command strong prices in the vintage market, making them sound investments for both collectors and design enthusiasts.

Today, Lane Furniture coffee tables remain highly regarded for their build quality, design integrity, and timeless appeal. Whether serving as functional centerpieces in contemporary homes or prized additions to Mid-Century Modern collections, these pieces continue to demonstrate why Lane earned its reputation as a premier manufacturer of enduring American furniture.
