Antique Indian Rustic Wooden Ox Cart with Metal Accents Made into a Coffee Table
Located in Yonkers, NY
An Indian wooden ox cart with metal accents from the 19th century, made into a coffee table. This intriguing coffee table, repurposed from a 19th-century wooden ox cart, captures our imagination with its blend of rustic charm and unique design. The table showcases a rectangular wooden top, rich in history and character, accentuated by a series of metal braces that not only reinforce its structure but also add a touch of industrial flair. The sides present square motifs, each pierced in the center, creating a captivating pattern that draws the eye.
The front of the table is particularly eye-catching, featuring ornate scrolls and hooks that lend a whimsical touch to the piece. Raised on curving legs, the table stands with a sense of grace and solidity, making it a perfect centerpiece for any living room or family room. The weathered appearance of the wood, combined with the contrasting metal accents, evokes a sense of nostalgia and adventure, reminiscent of the bustling markets and vibrant cultures where such ox carts were once a common sight.

Antique and Vintage Wood Coffee Tables for Sale: Shop Burl-Wood Coffee Tables, Rosewood Coffee Tables and More
As a practical focal point in your living area, antique and vintage wood coffee tables and cocktail tables are an invaluable addition to any interior.
Originally, these tables were as simple as they are practical — as high as your sofa and made primarily of wood. And even as metal, glass and plastics have become popular in coffee tables and cocktail tables, natural materials like wood and stone remain consistently in demand, as designers report a desire to bring natural aesthetics into the home. Walnut coffee tables, rosewood coffee tables and other pieces of wood furniture remind us of the wider world outside our walls and help create a peaceful, soothing atmosphere.
Low tables that were initially used as tea tables or coffee tables have been around since at least the mid- to late-1800s. Early coffee tables surfaced in Victorian-era England, likely influenced by the use of tea tables in Japanese tea gardens. In the United States, furniture makers worked to introduce low, long tables into their offerings as the popularity of coffee and “coffee breaks” took hold during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
It didn’t take long for coffee tables and cocktail tables to become a design staple and for consumers to recognize their role in entertaining no matter what beverages were being served.
Visionary craftspeople such as Paul Evans introduced bold, geometric designs that challenge the traditional idea of what a coffee table can be. The elongated rectangles and wide boxy forms of Evans’s desirable Cityscape coffee table, for example, will meet your needs but undoubtedly prove imposing in your living space.
If you’re shopping for an older coffee table to bring into your home — be it an antique Georgian-style coffee table made of mahogany or walnut with decorative inlays or a classic square mid-century modern piece comprised of rosewood designed by the likes of Ettore Sottsass — there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Both the table itself and what you put on it should align with the overall design of the room, not just by what you think looks fashionable in isolation. According to interior designer Tamara Eaton, the material of your vintage coffee table is something you need to consider. “With a glass coffee table, you also have to think about the surface underneath, like the rug or floor,” she says. “With wood and stone tables, you think about what’s on top.”
Find the perfect centerpiece for any room, no matter what your personal furniture style on 1stDibs — shop a collection of antique and vintage wood coffee tables and cocktail tables today.
