Edward Wormley for Dunbar Travertine & Sculpted Walnut Sheaf of Wheat Table

An exceptional “Sheaf of Wheat” side table attributed to Edward Wormley for Dunbar, showcasing the sculptural harmony and refined craftsmanship that defined mid-century American design. The table features a beautifully honed travertine top, resting gracefully on a ribbon-form walnut base composed of individually curved wooden slats joined by a central brass collar. This dynamic base creates a sense of movement and balance—an iconic Wormley hallmark—echoing natural forms while maintaining a distinctly architectural sensibility.

The combination of materials exemplifies Wormley’s gift for uniting luxury and simplicity: the organic warmth of walnut contrasts beautifully with the cool, understated elegance of the travertine. Every element is carefully proportioned, resulting in a table that feels as timeless today as when it was first designed.

Ideal as an accent, side, or cocktail table, this piece makes a sculptural statement from every angle. Its presence complements a range of interiors—from sophisticated mid-century settings to contemporary minimalist spaces. A true collector’s piece, this table embodies Wormley’s philosophy that *“modernism means freedom”—*freedom to blend form, material, and craftsmanship in perfect balance.
