We are excited to present this rare and exceptional pre-1920s bank table, believed to have been part of the Bethlehem Steel Company’s headquarters in San Francisco. Likely made of steel or bronze, this table exudes timeless elegance with its stunning craftsmanship. The French-inspired design and intricate detailing make it a true masterpiece, evoking an era of grand industrial power and exquisite artistry.
The table is adorned with gorgeous medallions on either side, each featuring a ship gracefully sailing across the sea. Inscribed with the phrases “Worldwide Scope” and “Estate-Wide Service,” these medallions symbolize the vast reach of Bethlehem Steel during its heyday. The inscription “Head Office, San Francisco” suggests this piece once graced the company’s main headquarters, making it not only a functional piece but also a fascinating part of American industrial history.
Beyond its historical significance, the table is a work of art in its own right. Its ornate French-style ornamentation features delicate scrollwork and floral motifs that reflect Old World craftsmanship at its finest. Every detail, from the richly adorned legs to the flowing lines that frame the medallions, speaks to the luxurious nature of the piece. Although the original marble top is missing, this provides a unique opportunity for the new owner to customize it with their choice of material, allowing it to fit perfectly into any space.
Measuring 61 1/4 inches wide, 39 1/2 inches tall, and 21 1/4 inches deep, the table is a substantial yet beautifully proportioned piece that would serve as a striking desk, console, or display table in both commercial and residential settings. This is not just a piece of furniture, but a statement of history, art, and craftsmanship. Don’t miss the chance to own this extraordinary relic from the past!
