About the Item

Wildly intricate yet distinctly American, this one-of-a-kind, artist-made table sits squarely in the lineage of American folk art—where resourcefulness meets imagination, and nature becomes both material and muse. Its sculptural base, formed from a tangle of interlocking root wood, feels discovered rather than constructed, a spontaneous architecture drawn from the forest floor. The tabletop—an astonishing mosaic of thousands of inlaid twigs—reveals three serpents coiling gracefully across a textured field, their forms rendered in shifting tones of bark and branch. Every surface hums with the quiet rhythm of handwork and time. Rooted in the folk tradition yet fully contemporary in presence, the piece channels the wild intelligence of the natural world into something at once functional and transcendent. More than a table, it’s a living artifact—an ode to patience, pattern, and the enduring poetry of the handmade. This platform may flag this piece as priced above average—but that judgment is based on an algorithm that overlooks patina, provenance, and that certain je ne sais quoi that matters to collectors.
