This iron side table was hand forged in the 20th century – the design, with its delightful frivolities, suggests it’s likely French.
Handles create the illusion of a tray resting on a surface, and its lower base and scalloped edges have been hammered to give a lovely dimpled effect. For added decoration and strength are the additional artisanal details of four cabriole-style twisted iron legs terminating in delicate scroll feet, as well as a pie-crust edge to the lower level tier. French rococo meets medieval austerity, made cute.
Approximately 50cm x 48cm height 74cm
