Wood tripod side table that is foldable, dating to 1940–1950, made in Spain, in good used condition with minor signs of age, measurements 35 cm deep, 50 cm high and 35 cm wide.
Description from the seller
It is a tripod side table that breathes the warm, straightforward character of wood worked by hand, where every joint and every curve matters more than any industrial finish. The structure arises from three legs that open naturally, without stiffness, as if they had been designed to support themselves from the first sketch. There are no forced symmetries or overly straight lines: what dominates is the craftsman's logic, that pursuit of balance achieved through eye, experience and touch.
The top, light yet solid, rests on the central knot where the legs converge, a point that often reveals the workshop's personality: sometimes rougher, with visible tool marks; other times more polished, but always with the human imprint intact. The wood shows lively grain, small tonal variations, perhaps a knot integrated as part of the design, reinforcing that sense of a unique, unrepeatable piece.
As a side table it functions almost as a gesture: it is placed where needed, accompanies an armchair, supports a lamp, a book or a cup, and when not in use, its presence remains friendly, light, almost sculptural. It has that charm of objects made without hurry, where functionality and beauty do not compete, but support one another.
Tracked shipping and good packaging.
