The table features an organic, amoeba-shaped metal top finished with a dramatic, mottled bronze and black patina. The heavy wrought iron base is supported by robust chains linking the tripod legs, which anchor dramatically to a solid, sculpted metal shark figurine on the floor plane. Additional metal sculptural elements—a ship's mast and fin shapes—are permanently affixed to the tabletop, transforming the piece into a compelling narrative sculpture.

Functioning as both furniture and museum-worthy art, this coffee table is ideal for anchoring an Eclectic, Industrial, or Contemporary living space that seeks conversation-starting pieces. The sculptural tabletop rests at 19 inches high, with an overall height of 24 inches including the affixed elements. The tabletop itself is 31 inches wide and 26.25 inches deep. This table is in excellent vintage condition, displaying a rich, dark patina and the intentional raw texture characteristic of forged metalwork and Brutalist design. See less
