This striking Spanish Revival coffee table is a sculptural composition of wrought iron and glass, marrying strength and ornamentation in a form that feels both architectural and artisan-crafted. The table’s forged iron base showcases a distinctive quatrefoil silhouette—an elegant, symmetrical motif long associated with Gothic and Moorish design—rendered here with a bold, graphic clarity. The legs curve inward with stylized arches, joined at the center with squared iron stretchers, forming a commanding foundation.
A gently aged parcel-gilt finish highlights the base, with the warm gold leaf selectively applied to accentuate the hand-wrought texture and sculptural lines. This gilded treatment glows with a burnished patina, adding richness and dimension that evoke the romance of early 20th-century Mediterranean interiors. A 1¾-inch wide horizontal iron ring encircles the top of the base, forming a solid platform for the glass. The tabletop is composed of approximately ¼-inch thick plate glass with a smoothed, flat-polished edge—an understated surface that provides visual balance and allows the intricacies of the base to remain fully visible.
Dating from the early to mid late 20th century, this piece draws stylistic inspiration from the Spanish Revival movement and flirts with elements of the Arts and Crafts ethos. The emphasis on hand-forged metal, honest materials, and unadorned craftsmanship aligns with the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement, even as the form leans toward the more romantic, decorative tendencies of Spanish Colonial design. While no maker’s mark is present, the craftsmanship suggests small atelier production or custom fabrication rather than mass manufacture.
With its commanding geometry, refined proportions, and timeless mix of iron and glass, this coffee table would make an arresting centerpiece in a living room, sunroom, or eclectic lounge space. It offers both visual drama and historical character—an heirloom-worthy piece that resonates with antique sensibility and artisan integrity. and fits hand in glove with a Hollywood Regency motif as well.
