Material: iron, metal

Style: Expressionism, Mid-Century Modern
Place of origin: France
Sculptural and architectonic, this iron coffee table crafted in mid-20th-century France evokes the expressive visual language of Alberto and Diego Giacometti. The square frame rests on tapered legs joined by a dynamic X-stretcher, where two cast birds perch with poised tension beside a small central dish raised on a circular pedestal. Whether intended as a symbolic focal point or a utilitarian receptacle, the dish contributes to the table’s sculptural equilibrium. The ironwork reveals a deliberate play of mass and void, texture and smoothness, with hand-wrought details and surface irregularities amplifying its tactile quality.
Soft tonal shifts in the oxidized metal lend warmth and depth, reinforcing the expressive ethos associated with postwar Expressionism in the Giacometti tradition.
The table is offered without a glass top, as clearly shown in the images.
