Spanish Walnut and Wrought Iron Table, Spain late 18th century
About the Item
From the grandest cathedral to the simplest chair, Spanish style reflects the country’s history. This antique Spanish table, called a “travel table” is a gorgeous piece carrying the visual and functional elements associated with the country’s craft and design history.
Thanks largely to its extended holy war, Spain maintained a medieval attitude much longer than the rest of Europe. In their furniture, this was reflected in large wooden furniture that was often somewhat crude compared to other European styles. Spanish furniture had a rustic, rough quality to it, that suited the life on the military frontier, as well as the extreme climates of Spanish regions, like the Extremadura. That being said, pieces were not without decorative qualities, seen in this solid walnut table’s structure and details. Despite its rough materials, the design of this table still maintains a sculptural, airy look which is the result of its double folding moulded legs and the scalloped crosspieces connected by the twisted, wrought iron struts. The rectangular plank top is joined by the spirally turned stretchers to the side pieces in such an artisan way that recalls the Moorish style by which Spanish furniture-makers were influenced by during the 1st century. The whole structure is well-built and solid and carries a unique aesthetic that is infused with cultural history.
The walnut can be easily considered as a decorative element with a colour that ranges from creamy white in the sapwood to a dark chocolate colour in the heartwood. Because of its colour and grain it is a prized furniture and carving wood. In combination with the iron joinery pieces, it establishes this table’s strong visual language.

- Folke Ohlsson "Frisco" Side Table for Tingströms, Sweden 1960sBy Folke Ohlsson, TingströmsLocated in Utrecht, NLThis side table is a classic piece of Scandinavian modern design, therefore it comes as no surprise that this model was awarded the Gold Medal at the California Fair in 1960. Folke Ohlsson was a decorated designer, he won a Gold Medal at the 1951 Milan Triennale and was given the Good Design Award by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His furniture was also one of the first exhibits featured at Stanford’s art museum. “Frisco” was part of the 'Bra Bohag' production from Tingströms Furnitures, Sweden. ‘Bra bohag’ means‘ good furniture in Swedish, and behind the expression was the lobby organization for better-designed everyday furniture for Swedish homes in the 1950-60s. It consisted of several furniture designers and producers, among them Tingströms AB. This solid wood model has a beautiful veneer that stands out thanks to the simple, uncluttered design. The top features a raised “lip” or edge, a playful and practical design element. Early in his design career Ohlsson almost exclusively designed in natural beech blond wood until critics quickly forced him to move to darker walnut and teak woods. This model was also influenced by this, breaking with the light Swedish modern aesthetic. However, the structure with stretchers set parallel on the legs is still very characteristic of Swedish mid-century modern design, not to mention the top quality. Folke Ohlsson was one of the first Swedish designers who managed to bring “Swedish Modern” design to the United States’ market successfully. According to the story, when Ohlsson arrived in the United States, he took his suitcase and cardboard to hotels all over the country inviting salesmen, department stores, and decorators to view his miniature designs and watch as he disassembled and reassembled his chair design. He quickly became notorious for his patented “knock-down” construction that reduced shipping and storage costs and helped to make the Swedish company Dux a household name in the USA. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Dimensions: 30.11 in W x 22.04 in D x 20.86 in H 76.5 cm W x 56 cm D x 53 cm H About the designer: Folke Ohlsson was a born in Malmö, Sweden in 1919 and died in Atherton California in 2003. Folke studied at the School of the Gothenburg Society of Industrial Design before he began working for the Swedish furniture and bedding manufacturer, Dux. In 1950, he moved to the United States with only a suitcase full of clothes and an exact miniature scaled model furniture...Category
