Crafted in the late 1800s, this elegant piece embodies the charm of the American Southwest’s rustic-meets-refined aesthetic. Its spool-turned legs, a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship, are delicately hand-carved and retain their original weathered finish, revealing layers of soft ochre, faded cream, and traces of old paint worn beautifully with age.

The table’s two-tier design offers both visual lightness and functional appeal—perfect for displaying a favorite vase, sculpture, or stack of art books. The top bears the rich patina of time, with surface wear and character marks that speak to generations of use and history. Each turned spindle leg tells its own story, a testament to handwork long before the age of machines.

Provenance:
From the estate of Jonathan Parks, a respected Santa Fe designer known for curating interiors that blended regional authenticity with European sophistication. His collection was widely admired for its soulful, layered approach to texture and form—qualities this table exemplifies.

Styling Ideas:
This piece pairs seamlessly with both French country and desert modern interiors. Style it beside a linen sofa, topped with a small ceramic vessel or desert botanical. In a hallway or entry, it makes an exquisite pedestal for art objects or sculptural lighting. Its slender vertical profile adds architectural height to any vignette.

Beautifully aged surface with natural wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound, with rich patina throughout.

Pro Tip: Pair this with warm terracotta pottery, woven textiles, or an aged oil portrait to create a layered, heritage-inspired look that feels both worldly and lived-in.
