Pair of Brazilian Rosewood & Pink Granite Side Tables, Brazil, 1960s — Lot 675

Description

A compelling study in material contrast and architectural clarity, this pair of Brazilian side tables from the 1960s embodies the structural confidence that defined the country’s most sophisticated modern interiors. Crafted in richly grained solid rosewood (Jacarandá), the bases feature a strong X-form stretcher and four substantial legs, creating a grounded yet refined silhouette.

The tops are clad in vibrant pink granite — a bold and distinctly Brazilian material choice — showcasing organic movement, mineral variation, and tonal warmth. The stone remains in excellent condition, retaining its natural depth and subtle polish without appearing overly restored. Together, rosewood and granite form a striking dialogue between warmth and permanence, texture and precision.

The wood has been professionally refinished to a satin-matte sheen, enhancing the dramatic veining and deep chocolate undertones inherent to Brazilian rosewood. The proportions allow these tables to function effortlessly as end tables, occasional tables, or low bedside tables, while their sculptural presence makes them equally compelling as standalone accent pieces.

An increasingly desirable material pairing within Brazilian Modernism, where regional stone and tropical hardwoods converge in confident architectural forms.
