Machine Age, Art Deco Table by McKay of Pittsburgh
$1,275.00
Offered is this scarce, diminutive Art Deco Chrome Table by McKay Company of Pittsburgh, PA. It features a black Bakelite veneer top, which is original. Weight is substantial at 14-1/2 Pounds!
Made in the early to mid 1930s, the quality of McKay chrome plating is excellent. Nearly 100 years later and the chrome is holding up very well. All of the screws appear to be original.
There are some scuffs and age appropriate wear to the chrome, and a patch of slight yellowing along the top outer edge (you can see it in one photo). Also a small ding in the top of the base, also seen in photo. The Bakelite veneer is slightly loose on part of the edge.
Measures:
17-1/2"H
13-3/8"W across the top
The McKay Company, in Pittsburgh, initially made tire chains before moving into auto bumpers. Later, they produced chrome furniture. By the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, McKay had diversified into a range of metal furniture.
