Acclaim

1958–59 to about 1970, André Bus

Walnut tables and later case pieces bordered by an inlaid band of lighter wood cut in a dovetail pattern, which gives the line its nickname, the dovetail collection. Forms include coffee tables, step and wedge end tables and a hinged boomerang coffee table, on tapered legs. Cause A Frockus and Chairish both say it was the best-selling line in the country by 1963; Hunker reports later Acclaim II pieces in which laminate replaced the veneer.^{[5][11]–[13]}

Perception

about 1959 into the 1960s, Warren Church (attributed)

Living, dining and bedroom furniture with panels of woven strips of real wood, called Wovenwood, on drawer and door fronts, and sculpted legs that lift table tops so they appear to float. It came in Burnished Walnut or Beeswax Oak finishes, and Lane advertised it with a Scandinavian theme.^[13]–[15]

Copenhagen

1950s

Walnut occasional tables, including two-tier step tables and lamp tables, on tapered legs with brass-wrapped or brass-tipped feet. Dealers date surviving pieces to the 1950s, some to 1957 from the serial number; no catalogue date or designer has been published.^[16]–[19]

Rhythm

1960s

Walnut end, lamp and coffee tables with curved legs that flow into the apron. One dated example, a square lamp table numbered style 997-06, reads as December 1963 from its serial number, and its seller quotes Lane literature describing walnut veneers over solid pecan.^[13][20]

Tuxedo

1960s

Walnut bedroom and occasional pieces inlaid with small rosewood bow-ties on tops and fronts, with bow-tie shaped drawer pulls. Dealers date it to the 1960s.^[25][26]

First Edition

1960s–1970s

A walnut range sold mostly as bedroom furniture, including dressers, highboys, gentleman's chests, nightstands and headboards, with dining chairs, end tables and a glazed display case also listed. Dealers date pieces from the mid-1960s into the 1970s.^[27][28]

Oak and walnut case pieces, such as lowboy dressers, armoires and nightstands, in a Brutalist style, with raised rectangular patterns and textured, sculptural fronts covering the whole piece.^[5][13]

Delineator

1960s, Paul McCobb (dealer attribution)

Walnut tables, including end, console, coffee and dining tables, some with rosewood details and chrome legs. Dealers credit the design to Paul McCobb and date it to the early 1960s.^[29][30]

André Bus

Credited with the Acclaim tables. Little is published about him beyond that line.^{[5][11]–[13]}

Described as Lane's head designer in the mid-century years. Cause A Frockus says he directed Bus's work on Acclaim, and Perception is attributed to him.^[12][14]

Paul McCobb

The American modernist is credited by dealers with Lane's Delineator tables of the 1960s.^[29][30]
