About the Item

1940s Giacometti-style Expressionist iron square coffee table with birds, France By: Alberto and Diego Giacometti (in the style of) Material: iron, metal Technique: cast, molded, metalwork Dimensions: 43.5 in x 43.5 in x 17 Date: mid-20th century, circa 1940 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.
