A refined mid-century side table designed by John Keal for Brown Saltman, known for producing some of the most thoughtfully constructed American modern furniture of the 1950s–60s.
Pieces like this are becoming increasingly difficult to source in restored condition.
Unlike many mid-century tables that rely on veneer alone, Brown Saltman pieces are known for their solid construction and lasting durability, making them as functional today as they were 60+ years ago.
This piece has been carefully restored to highlight the warmth and depth of the original mahogany while preserving the clean, architectural lines that define Keal’s work.
Subtle details - proportions, joinery, and balance - are what separate this from more common mid-century production pieces.
Dimensions: 20" H x 22" W x 28" D
Professionally repaired and refinished with attention to tone, surface, and long-term durability.
The goal was not to make it “look new,” but to bring the original material back to life.

Fun fact: Keal was born in Ellensburg, Washington. A graduate of the University of Washington Industrial Design School, he designed for such manufacturers as Brown-Saltman and Glenn of California, in addition to his own company, Tappan-Keal.
Two available. Price is per table.
