Specifically, we have filled some dings in the back beveled edge and repainted. There is a scrape on the foot of the pedestal base, but we chose not to fill & paint but to leave it original. There are also some “glossy” flecks in the faux wood top even after applying Lexol Please see photos and zoom in for details as these are part of condition report.

There is little information out there about Maurice Burke however, throughout our extensive research and a few quotes from a conversation on “Design Addict,” we know that he was born in the UK in 1921 and he died in 2013. He had several patents, designed for Arkana in 1960-1970’s, and he owned Burke Inc. which was in Dallas, Texas. Brunswick acquired Burke Inc. in 1963. Brunswick you may know better for pool tables and bowling balls but in 1952 they began manufacturing school furniture and gymnasium equipment and, obviously, benches, chairs, stools, and other equipment for bowling alleys and pool rooms. In 1963 Burke, Inc. was added as one of the many companies purchased to produce these furnishings. Burke, Inc. was already making wonderful mid-century modern furniture. However, in 1969, even though it was successful, Brunswick decided to sell off its school furniture business to concentrate on its many many other endeavors. They remain in business today.
This is a fantastic table with an iconic reputation and timeless style. Don’t let this Tulip table by Burke for Brunswick slip through your fingers! Make it YOURS!!!
