Mid-Century “JACKS” Cocktail Table by Adrian Pearsall

Have you been looking for the perfect MCM Cocktail Table for your home? One of the things I appreciate about MCM styled items is they can literally go with any decor and style. This timeless piece makes me think it can fit with ultra modern as well as Mid-Century designed homes.

This weeks post is found on the Asheville, NC Craigslist. I have found several things around the country and post them to our Pinterest account. You can check them out here: Last week we had featured the Mid-Century Electric Credenza Bar by Alfons Doerr.

I had the thought on Coffee or Cocktail table – and looked it up, here is what I found. “A cocktail table is described as square or rectangular in the shape of its top. It is often implied that these tables are more elegant, sophisticated pieces that have slighter proportions than a coffee table. But in today’s marketplace you will find the names used interchangeably with, in most cases, no discernible difference between the two.”
