Dramatic winged sphinx supports anchor each table, creating a sculptural silhouette that feels both architectural and decorative.

Classical and Egyptian Revival motifs are incorporated throughout, from the ormolu-style mounts and laurel ornamentation to the commanding gilt sphinx figures. The soft gray-blue finish lends a fresh, livable quality that pairs beautifully with traditional interiors while feeling equally at home in Palm Beach, coastal traditional, and collected contemporary spaces.

Placed in an entry hall beneath a mirror, flanking a fireplace, or serving as statement consoles in a dining room, these tables offer the kind of presence typically associated with much earlier examples. A sophisticated pair for designers seeking scale, symmetry, and a touch of neoclassical drama.
