The circular concrete top has a subtly weathered surface and softened edge, resting upon an intricately forged iron base.

Hand-worked scrolls unfurl around a turned central support, creating an interplay between structure and ornament. The darkened patina of the iron lends contrast to the cool, stone-like presence of the top, while the tripod form ensures stability with a sense of visual lightness.

Ideal as a side table, occasional table, or pedestal.

Condition: In great vintage condition overall, with surface wear and light scuffs to the tabletop, and a soft patina to the iron elements consistent with age. The table is not perfectly level, though the variation is minimal and not readily noticeable in everyday use. It remains a stable, functional piece. See less
