“Etruscan” Coffee Table in Bronze with Serpent Decoration by Christopher Chodoff
Brutalist “Etruscan” coffee table by Christopher Chodoff inspired by Diego Giacometti’s designs (ca. 1980s, USA). Composed of a densely textured hammered cast bronze frame with x-stretchers and a gold-tone cast metal serpent.
The 1/2″ thick tempered glass top is likely a latter addition, given its size, which is only about 1″ longer and deeper than the base.
There are a couple of scuffs to the glass; otherwise, the table is in excellent, vintage condition.
Measures: H: 16.88″ x D: 25.13″ x L: 41″.
