Mirrored Partition for a Globe Work Table (Globustisch)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Mirrored Partition for a Globe Work Table (Globustisch) by Josef Hoffmann. Rectangular table frame with a flat top, made of wood. The top has a lighter wood tone with darker edges. Four legs, two on each long side, are made of darker wood with a marbled pattern and have simple molding at the top and bottom. The legs are attached to small black feet. The open sides have no backing; one side is flat and reflects light like a mirror. The base has a black and orange checkerboard pattern with a circle in the center. The background is plain gray.
