Vintage Mid-Century Modern Lane “Cosmopolitan” Coffee Table

Appraisal: Vintage Mid-Century Modern Lane “Cosmopolitan” Round Coffee Table (Style 2093)

Maker: Lane Furniture Company, Altavista, Virginia
Line: Cosmopolitan
Style Number: 2093
Serial Number: 164110 (Dating the table to October 11, 1964, when read in reverse)
Dimensions: 40” diameter x 14” height
Materials: Walnut veneer with white ceramic tile inlay (geometric motif)
Period: Mid-Century Modern (c. 1964)
Condition: Fair (notable surface wear, scuffing on legs and edges, would benefit from refinishing)

Description:

This is a stylish round walnut coffee table manufactured by Lane as part of their sought-after “Cosmopolitan” line in the 1960s. Its striking geometric white ceramic tile centerpiece is characteristic of mid-century modern design, offering a decorative and heat-resistant surface. Tapered legs with brass ring accents complete the sleek aesthetic.

Historical Context:

Lane Furniture was known for its high-quality craftsmanship and forward-thinking design during the mid-20th century. The Cosmopolitan series, while less ubiquitous than Lane’s “Acclaim” line, features bold design statements such as tile inlays and geometric contrasts that appeal to collectors of MCM furnishings.

Market Value Estimate:

  • Retail (refinished): $600 – $900 USD
  • As-is (fair condition): $250 – $450 USD
  • Auction or Estate Sale: $200 – $300 USD

Pricing may vary based on geographic market demand and condition. Fully restored examples typically command significantly higher prices, especially if sold through vintage boutiques or specialized mid-century dealers.

Recommendation:

Due to its solid construction and collectible value, this table is a good candidate for refinishing. Doing so could increase both its aesthetic appeal and market value. If you're considering selling, listing it on platforms like Chairish, 1stDibs, or Etsy (vintage furniture section), or through a local vintage dealer could yield higher offers than general classifieds.
