Kipp Stewart for Drexel Declaration Vintage Mid Century Modern Cocktail Coffee Table c. 1960s

Designed by Kipp Stewart and Stewart MacDougall for Drexel’s celebrated Declaration line, this 1960s cocktail table showcases a warm walnut finish and precise craftsmanship. The long, rectangular profile is framed by a raised lip edge that subtly defines the tabletop, adding both a functional and sculptural detail. Tapered legs lend the form an airy elegance, while the overall silhouette remains grounded in classic American modernism.

The model 881-213 cocktail table reflects the careful proportions and timeless styling that made the Declaration line a mid-century staple. Its straightforward design allows the natural character of the walnut grain to take center stage, making it an ideal fit for both period interiors and contemporary spaces seeking a touch of heritage design.

This table shows extensive, authentic wear from decades of use, resulting in a rich, well-developed patina. The as-pictured option is best suited for those who appreciate a timeworn, lived-in aesthetic. If you're looking for a crisp, refreshed coffee table, we recommend selecting the restored option instead.
