Rare 1950s Vesper CC41 Utility Console Table – Mid Century Modern
A rare and highly collectable 1950s Vesper console table, produced as part of the influential post-war CC41 Utility Furniture Scheme and associated with the celebrated British designer Gordon Russell. Originally retailed through Heal’s, this piece represents a significant moment in British furniture design, when practicality, craftsmanship and modern aesthetics came together during the post-war rebuilding period. The table is crafted from beautifully figured blond lacewood, prized for its distinctive grain pattern and warm tonal character. Its elegant top is supported by solid maple tapered legs, a hallmark of mid-century design, giving the piece a light and refined architectural presence.
The restrained proportions and clean lines make it an ideal console, hall table, or side table, perfectly suited to both classic interiors and modern spaces seeking authentic mid-century character.
Pieces from the CC41 Utility scheme have become increasingly desirable among collectors and interior designers alike, valued for their historical significance, quality construction and understated British modernist style—a sophisticated and versatile example of mid-century British furniture, combining historical provenance with timeless design.
