🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Found a really old table under a wood pile of all places

[dozer dan]

I’m hoping someone who knows about iron working could tell me what this style is called or possibly have any knowledge of it. I found it completely buried under a rotting wood pile. One of the local schools here has a blacksmith class and I asked the instructor about it. He said it was called “hot wrapped iron”. I did a search of that and came up empty. It’s a very sturdy table that has absolutely zero flex or looseness to it. The legs are probably an inch to an inch and a half thick in other parts of the iron rod is 3/4 inch thick. It seems impossible for the average person to build something like this as solid as it is.

It looks like it might have been the frame for a glass top table on some of the legs /corners it looks to have had felt pads for cushion for a glass top.

They just heated it up red hot and bent/ beat it how they wanted it. Nice work. Not big enough for a bed frame is it?

Not even for a child.

table ?

I will give it a shot. Definitely a table as you identified in your thread heading, and I think from 1930s. It is somewhat reminiscent of art deco forged/wrought iron.

Table… minus the glass top

You could probably make or have a wooden top made for it. It would make a good coffee table if it is the right height. Or even a nice dining room table. It will definitely be sturdy.

My vote is a table. Personally, if I had the room I would get a nice thick glass top for it and use it to display my finds...

Do you want to sell it How much does it weigh

That's a beautiful find, it would definitely make for a great looking coffee table with a thick glass top. I wouldn't do anything to the paint either, it looks incredible just the way it is.

I asked the instructor about it. He said it was called “hot wrapped iron”.

That's a real nice recovery.

Did you keep it, or leave it?
Certainly worth a few $$$, in the repurpose market place.

Got to love the comments that when the OP says "Hot wrapped iron" and somebody states its brass.

Actually it’s fate depends on who wins the argument. If I win, it’ll be a patio coffee table. If my wife wins, it’ll probably go back under a woodpile.

It weighs approximately 40 pounds.

I definitely kept it. It’s sitting in my yard until I get it all figured out. Id really like to find an old bank window with the half inch thick blue tint glass to have cut for the top.

If you want to sell it let me know.

1965-1989 glass table Steel frame. The pads are so the glass didn't get scratched by the metal. I bet you could find one like it for sale online.
