Horseshoe Spanish Martini Table

Found in Montpellier but originally from Mallorca, this 1930s iron side table is the sort of piece you would have spotted on a terrace or tucked beside a chair in a Spanish home. Its stem is a length of heavy iron chain, link welded to link, rising from a base of old horseshoes to a plain round tray top, all put together by hand with the kind of wit a country smith brought to the scraps of his own forge. Its dark finish has worn with the years, the horseshoes still showing the nail holes from the hooves they once shod. Sylvie loves it beside a chair with a small vase or a glass of wine resting on top.
