Erno Fabry (Czech, 1906-1984) Convertible Table, Belgium, c. 1950, mahogany top inlaid with an oval of rosewood inlay flanked by inlaid brass rings, opens to a similar composition, set on hardwood legs with cross stretchers, mark "Belgium," ht. 30 3/4, wd. 61, dp. 19 1/4, open wd. 61, dp. 38 1/2 in.
Note: Fabry immigrated to the United States on the threshold of World War II, working with such design luminaries as Norman Bel Geddes (1893û1958) before establishing his own highly successful firm. The designer of numerous buildings, furniture, and even textiles, Fabry was counted among the most prolific European-born tastemakers to successfully transmit modern design to the American home of the 1940s through 1960s, even though his career has gone largely unrecorded.
