Forged in hand-worked iron and finished with passages of bronze and gold leaf, the table is at once raw and luminous. The irregular legs rise in organic folds, each uniquely formed, while the rectangular top is worked with abstract incisions and planes of darkened iron and gilt.

Its finish bears the marks of the artist’s hand—cut, hammered, and burnished—blurring the line between functional object and expressive sculpture.

Jean-Jacques Argueyrolles was born in 1954 near Paris. He works with bronze, stone, iron, and wood, designing furniture lines in a minimalist-baroque style while also creating sculptures and monumental works. He considers Dalí, Tàpies, and Moore his artistic masters, yet he sees himself as an autodidact—a self-made man—which helps explain the atypical nature of his work.

Condition: Great condition, with a richly patinated finish throughout. Minor surface scratches and scuffs that align with age and use.
