About the Item

This interesting and unusual table made in the southwest circa 1930 is constructed of Saguaro wood, a kind of slow-growing dense cactus with a distinctive outer casing that is used for decorative display. The form is an extension of the mission movement which started in California, Mexico and the southwest as a simple need to furnish through local craftsmen homes and public spaces with natural local materials The tripod base used upside down is the direct form of the cactus. A decoratively shaped piece has been added to the base as a terminus and the knotty pine top is bordered in saguaro with pine supports creating the gueridon. Made as a local distinctive form this kind of furniture is similar in nature to tramp art furniture, Adirondack furniture or folk art, etc. Rarely seen in the east it is most common in camps and lodges in the southwest and California but is still to this day being made in many forms by hand from local craftsmen.
