ESPAGNE XVIIe siècle
WALNUT AND FORGED IRON HANGED TABLE H. 80 cm, W. 264 cm, D. 73 cm
In the tradition of tables supported by trestles, Spain created a specific type of table with iron hooks as early as the 16th century. The solid top rests directly on thick lyrical legs cut out of the mass of wood, with two rings at the base. The contrasting play of the curves and counter-curves of the legs is complemented by the flexible metal crosspieces, decorated with spinning tops and curved in volutes, which connect the centre of the crosspieces to the eyelets under the top. A light walnut wood middle table of elegant proportions, it is intended for the stately living rooms of rich residences. A similar model, but smaller in size, was presented at Drouot Richelieu in March 2013 (fig. 1). Automatically translated by DeepL. To see the original version, click here.
