The table features a large inset plaque, created with a variety of exotic woods and depicting a woman in formal riding gear astride a horse with an infant Cupid running alongside. Andrew Szoeke (1893-1969) immigrated to New York in 1921 from Vienna, Austria, where he had honed his talents influenced by the masters who would soon go on to found the Bauhaus. During a 20-year relationship creating graphics and consulting for Bergdorf Goodman, he became the darling of Manhattan's “carriage trade” for his distinctive hand-crafted furniture designs. Consignor states the original base of the table was damaged beyond repair when he purchased some years ago, so he had a similar base with burlwood veneer added in its place.
