The rectangular top is formed from a single thick plank of walnut, hand-hewn with an adze, with visible tool marks that preserve the expressive surface texture and attest to its early artisanal construction.
The table stands on two richly carved scrolled trestle legs, sculptural in form and firmly grounded in traditional Spanish design. These supports are joined by a hand-forged iron stretcher, providing both structural integrity and a subtle decorative contrast to the warmth of the walnut. The iron retains a dark, naturally aged surface consistent with period forging techniques.
This antique coffee table is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, displaying a warm and richly developed walnut patina with honest surface wear that enhances its authenticity and character. Substantial yet refined in scale, it is well suited for a living room, den, or library, where it brings a timeless country Spanish presence and architectural depth to the interior.
