eBay Find of the Day: Vintage Wheat Sheaf Table

Simple but sculptural, this vintage travertine-topped table would strike a sophisticated note in just about any room. The walnut-toned, wheat sheaf-style table was made in Italy and possibly designed by the legendary Edward Wormley.

At 20 inches tall and 26 inches in diameter, it can be put to use as a coffee table, a nightstand, or an occasional table. This smart little table would compliment a variety of decorating styles, too, from midcentury to Hollywood Regency to eclectic modern.

Current bid: $100. (Hurry -- the auction ends Monday evening, July 7.)
