A sculptural forged iron and beveled glass console table by Ilana Goor, created circa 1980s, embodying the artist’s signature balance of raw materiality and poetic form. Known for her distinctive approach to metalwork, Goor transforms utilitarian structure into expressive sculpture—an ethos clearly present in this striking example.

The hand-forged iron frame features a rich, dark patina with intentionally textured surfaces that celebrate the artisanal process. The linear upper rail is softened by a rhythmic series of curved vertical elements, while the base is anchored by cylindrical legs and an elegant cross-stretcher. At its center, a circular forged motif is joined by a small perched bird—an unmistakable hallmark of Goor’s work, where subtle figural elements introduce narrative and whimsy into otherwise architectural forms.

The substantial beveled glass top appears to float above the base, allowing full visibility of the sculptural ironwork beneath. This interplay of weight and transparency is central to Goor’s design language, creating a piece that is both grounded and visually light.

Produced during the period in which Goor worked between Israel and the United States, this console reflects the artist’s mature style—earthy, expressive, and highly collectible.

Ideal for use as a console, sofa table, or statement piece in an entryway, it integrates seamlessly into Brutalist, Mediterranean, and contemporary interiors.
