A highly decorative antique folding wrought iron table, executed in the French taste and dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900.

The oval top is richly adorned with intricate openwork, featuring a finely detailed central medallion of grape clusters and vine leaves—an enduring motif associated with French garden design and the romantic tradition of vineyard culture. Radiating pierced elements and latticework panels create a dynamic, light-catching surface, while the raised gallery edge is accented by elegant scrollwork handles, enhancing both function and sculptural presence.

The base is designed with a practical folding mechanism, allowing for ease of storage and versatility in use. A lower stretcher with repeating grapevine ornament reinforces the structure while echoing the decorative language of the top.

This piece works beautifully as a garden or patio table, but equally translates indoors as a bar table, occasional table, or decorative accent in Mediterranean, French country, or vineyard-inspired interiors. Its form and craftsmanship strongly recall French wrought iron work of the late 19th to early 20th century. Expertly hand-crafted in wrought iron, incorporating both hand-formed and cast decorative elements.

A rare and visually engaging example, ideal for designers seeking authentic character and functional artistry.
