Inspired by the celebrated Chinese bronze from the 2nd century CE, each horse is depicted in perfect balance, resting atop a flying swallow – an enduring symbol of movement, harmony, and mastery of form.
The horses’ finely modeled heads support the substantial glass tabletop, while their tails carry a secondary glass surface below.

Square brass crossbars connect the composition, lending both structure and visual rhythm. The table stands on square, black-lacquered feet with brass surfaces, giving the piece a grounded and composed appearance. A rare and distinctive table that brings together historical reference and a carefully balanced form, offering a strong presence without excess.
