    Default Brass & Glass Dining Table Saved From The Pit...need help identifying

    Hello!

    I am serious when I say that I saved this really unique brass and glass dining table from destruction. It was left in a building that will be razed in August and I just couldn't accept such an ignominious end to such a fantastic piece of furniture. To begin with, the basic table is 72" long by about 40" wide. The two 18" long extensions (leaves) are stored under the table and released by turning one of the square end pieces 180 degrees. The leaf then ratchets up from under the glass top to level and you turn the square end cap back; locking the leaf (extension) in place. When both leaves are up the table is over 9 feet long! I have never seen another brass and glass table like this one...has anyone else? Any help in determining when and where this piece of furniture was made, (and maybe by whom), would be greatly appreciated!!

    I thought a couple of additional photos might help. The first is a photo of one of the end plinths that turn to release the table extension. The second is simply a side view of the table with both extensions retracted. This is a really cool table...someone must know something about it. As a final point, the table is extremely heavy...perhaps 150-200 pounds with the glass.Click image for larger version.

    I have taken added photos...please help! These photos show how the leaves fold up under the table and the corner plinths act as a key to releasing the leaves and a lock for holding them up when fully extended. Please ignore the "ribbed" look in the glass; that is a reflection from the ceiling.
