Description
Beautoful and rare matched pair of heavy, handcrafted wrought iron table bases featuring bold scrollwork and an original antiqued gilt finish with darkened undertones. These sculptural bases date to the late 1960s–1970s and reflect a refined blend of Hollywood Regency and Mediterranean / Spanish Revival design influences.
The bases are substantial and architectural, with dramatic C-scroll legs joined by an X-form stretcher that provides both visual balance and structural strength. The finish shows intentional tonal variation, with darker iron visible in recessed areas, giving depth and character consistent with age and hand-applied patination, and perfectly balancing the fanciful curves.
Offered without tops, allowing flexibility for custom glass or stone. Ideal for use as a paired coffee table, statement end tables, or unexpected ottomans with the addition of upholstered tops. These read as decorative objects even on their own and are especially well suited to interiors favoring sculptural, mid-century, or eclectic design.
Matched pairs of this quality and scale are increasingly difficult to find.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition.
The wrought iron bases are structurally sound and sturdy, with no bends, cracks, or repairs. The original antiqued gilt finish shows intentional surface variation and darkened undertones, consistent with age and hand-applied patination.
There is minor cosmetic wear visible along some raised edges and in recessed areas, typical of vintage iron and appropriate to age. This wear contributes to the overall patina and does not detract from presentation or function.
