Child's Table, 1956
Add to SetSummary
Children's furniture often reflected up-to-date fashion trends found in full-sized adult versions. Parents in the 1950s could purchase this modern child-sized table with a Formica top as part of a set with patterned vinyl-covered chairs. Children could sit comfortably around this fashionable playset and pretend to be mom and dad, who probably were sitting around a similar adult-sized version in the kitchen.
