Monumental Serpent Coffee Table Forged Iron Glass in Manner of Diego Giacometti
This monumental forged iron and glass coffee table, crafted in the manner of Diego Giacometti, showcases a striking design that combines artistic elegance with functionality. Handcrafted in France during the late 20th century, this table features a sculpturally expressive forged iron base with a rich bronzed patina, complemented by a thick inset glass top that appears to float above the base. The base is characterized by four baluster-form legs joined by flat strap stretchers and an X-form stretcher that culminates in a central forged knot, symbolizing unity and tension. Notably, one stretcher morphs into a stylized iron serpent, an emblem of transformation and knowledge, which adds a profound allegorical dimension to the piece. The commanding scale and lyrical detailing evoke the timeless elegance associated with the Giacometti brothers' atelier creations. In excellent vintage condition with minor surface wear to the iron and minimal wear to the glass, this coffee table is not only structurally sound but also visually stunning, making it a perfect centerpiece for any modern living space.
