DESCRIPTION

Rare antique coffee table hand carved by the Senufo tribes from a single block of Iroko wood, native to the west coast of Africa. The wood is tough, dense and very durable. Shown with carved cone style legs. We only source the best. This one is beautiful. It is rare to find a size this long and wide. Circa 1950

This beautiful coffee table was sourced in the spirit of Wabi Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few. The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
