Goat Leg Coffee Table

Description

Furnishings of ancient Rome were the source of inspiration for the Goat Leg Coffee Table. The most important record of furnishings of the Roman period is the collection of furniture from Pompeii and Herculaneum. While the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE was tremendously destructive to the region, the hot liquid lava and ash that engulfed the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum preserved the furniture in carbonized form. Tables with animal legs seem to have been in vogue at the time as several such tables have been found.

This exquisite table is made by a casting process. Molten metal is poured into a sand mold that can be used only once. The rough casting is painstakingly smoothed by a master craftsman. This is a long and laborious process requiring attention to detail. Robust metal construction of the Goat Leg Coffee Table allows the base to support a heavy top without flexing. Serpent accent on the stretcher may be deleted upon request. Four polished bronze glides are provided which also serve as levelers – a useful feature to have when the floor is uneven. The table base is offered in multiple sizes and a variety of finishes. Custom sizing is available.
