From House Beautiful, October 1951, "...some tables at
Richards Morganthau (sp) that seemed rather nice and reasonable. When
I went back to check, discovered they were better than I remembered. Very
unassuming - natural birch plywood tops with wrought-iron frames and legs -
but graceful enough to fit in with far more costly companions. And the
prices were really in the beer barrel range: $20 for 30-inch square coffee
table, and less than that for the 18-inch square lamp table.
Ben
Seibel was the bright young man who designed them."
