English-Aesthetic Canterbury Magazine Table from Micheal S. Smith Install

A rare Antique English-Aesthetic Movement bamboo Canterbury magazine rack table with a woven rattan tabletop. Magazine racks in this style are hard to find, making it highly collectable.
 
It's particularly special because it was originally placed by Interior Decorator Michael S. Smith in actor Jim Belushi’s Brentwood, CA estate. Smith is one of the most esteemed talents in the design industry today, known for blending European classicism and modernism. His work is layered and tailored with casual refinement. His A-List clients include the White House for President and First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, Steven Spielberg, Cindy Crawford, Dustin Hoffman, George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Rupert Murdoch. Early in his career, Smith apprenticed under legendary antiques dealer Gep Durenberger and iconic designer John Saladino. As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the storied pieces I seek – knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy. A treasured find for collectors and enthusiasts of one-of-a-kind pieces. If you enjoy a story with great provenance, this is for you!
