The pairing of raw terrazzo with warm walnut is quintessentially Probber: luxurious natural materials in an honest, architectural relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvey Probber\u003c\/strong\u003e founded his Fall River, Massachusetts studio in the 1940s and became one of the defining figures of American mid-century modern furniture. He is credited with inventing the modern \u003cstrong\u003esectional seating concept\u003c\/strong\u003e, collaborated with architects \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Johnson\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEero Saarinen\u003c\/strong\u003e, and counted \u003cstrong\u003eFrank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Henry Ford II\u003c\/strong\u003e among his clients. His terrazzo surfboard tables are among his most recognized and reproduced designs — actively listed on 1stDibs, Chairish, and by specialist MCM dealers at $1,500–$3,500+.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is unmarked — consistent with many Probber pieces — and is attributed by the auctioneer to Probber based on design and construction. It presents a genuine restoration opportunity: the sculptural form and exceptional scale (over 66\" long) make it a compelling project piece whose post-restoration value would significantly exceed its current price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvey Probber (American, 1922–2003), attributed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surfboard-shaped terrazzo top on asymmetric brutalist walnut block bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Terrazzo with embedded contrast materials; solid walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5\"H × 66.5\"W × 22\"D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker's Marks:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — unmarked, attributed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair.
