The decorative cast iron base retains the instantly recognisable Singer detailing associated with the company's historic sewing machines. Its intricate openwork construction provides excellent stability while giving the table considerable architectural and industrial character. Above sits a generously proportioned chunky wooden top, providing an excellent practical surface while creating an attractive contrast with the decorative metalwork beneath. The timber displays pronounced natural grain and rich tonal variation throughout, with a warm finish that complements the aged character of the cast iron particularly well. This combination of natural wood and industrial metal gives the table an appealing rustic aesthetic. with a generous 120.5 cm wide surface and 71 cm knee clearance, the piece offers considerable versatility. It could function effectively as a console table, writing desk, work table, display table or statement piece within either a residential or commercial setting.

Presented in good vintage condition, with appropriate signs of age and use contributing to its established character.
