Side Tables: Vintage, Antique, and Mid-Century
The side table is the piece of furniture that turns an armchair into a favorite spot. At Hauptstadt Möblerei, you will find a changing selection of vintage and antique side tables: the kidney-shaped table from the 1950s, the teak side table from Denmark, the nesting table made of mahogany, the Art Deco side table with high-gloss veneer, the plant stand from the Gründerzeit period, and the tea trolley with casters. All refurbished in our Berlin workshop.
