Lioness

Behold the "Side Table Lioness" by Eichholtz, an ode to a French tripod table (ca. 1815–25) in The Met's European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collection. Exuding sophistication, the bronze portal finish on this contemporary interpretation perfectly complements the bevelled glass tabletop, which is cut and polished at an angle for a refined look. This exquisite piece adds timeless allure and artistic charm. Elevate your decor with the regal presence of the "Lioness Side Table." HISTORIC PROVENANCE The Coffee Table Lioness takes its design direction from a French tripod table in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The table, crafted in wood and gilt bronze with a mosaic surface, dates to around 1815–25, and features exquisitely ornate winged-lion legs and flora and fauna detailing. The top depicts a quartet of birds drinking from a golden bowl and features a fret trim. The Coffee Table Lioness takes on the silhouette of the Museum’s table, with tripod legs in a bronze finish and the elegant simplicity of a clear glass tabletop.
