Butterfly Table c. 1940

"Butterfly Table" is a watercolor design for a table created by Charles Squires in c. 1940. The design features a unique, curvilinear base that mimics the shape of a butterfly’s wings. The table, which is likely meant for use in a home, is a beautiful example of Squires's furniture designs, notable for their blend of traditional styles and modern aesthetics. Squires was a prominent furniture designer who was active in the mid-20th century. The watercolor design captures the delicate details of the table's construction. It is unknown if the table design was ever produced, but it stands as a testament to Squires's artistry and his ability to combine classic design principles with contemporary sensibilities.
