Twelve sides of marble, three scrolled legs

The Art Deco Marble Coffee Table is the piece to start with. Its top is a twelve-sided slab of marble; underneath, a mahogany base splits into three scrolled legs. It is an original, not a reissue, and the stone shows the wear of its decades. aattic found it the way it finds everything: Abigail, principal designer at the interior firm Studio Eastman, and her husband Alex travel to buy, then release what they bring back in drops rather than keeping a permanent stock. The Oblist marks the dealer as an Editor's Choice. Five objects are listed at the moment.

Details are what the two buyers look for. On the French Walnut Armoire, solid walnut throughout, the keyholes are set in diamond-shaped escutcheons and the whole cabinet stands on turned feet behind panelled doors. The Curved Iron & Glass Coffee Table, also French, bends an iron frame under a glass top and finishes the feet with bronze tassels, a medallion at the centre. A Farmhouse Bench keeps its weathered surface untouched. The Vintage Double Arm Bronze Library Table Lamp has gone green with verdigris, still runs on its original toggle switch and has working electrics. Two coffee tables, a wardrobe, a bench, a lamp: a short list, and nothing in it is a type.

aattic's selection follows the logic of Studio Eastman's own interiors, where an antique gives a new room depth without turning it into a period set. The armoire does that in a bedroom with lighter contemporary pieces around it, or in a hallway as linen storage. Either coffee table (stone and dark wood, or iron and glass) sits in front of a low modern sofa. The bench goes at a dining table or at the foot of a bed; the lamp is scaled for a desk or a console. At The Oblist, aattic's finds are filed under vintage furniture and Art Deco furniture, alongside American and European dealers working in the same spirit.

Every aattic object is one of a kind and sold as found; condition is described on its product page. Interior designers and architects placing these pieces in a residential or hospitality project can join The Oblist's Architect Trade Program for project pricing.
