Futurismo Metal Table 1940s

A wonderful Futurismo metal table with unique tripod form and ball detail. Having sat in an Italian garden since the 1940s this table has acquired a beautiful patina. Remnants of its old paint are still visible.  It could be re-painted but why ruin its history!

The 'Futurismo' movement in Italy was a rebuke of classicism aiming to 'liberate Italy from the weight of its past' and embrace modernity in all mediums of art, ceramics, sculpture, architecture, interior design, cooking, theatre, fashion, film and literature. Pioneered in 1909 by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in Milan it's key figures also included the painters Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Giacoma Bella, Gino Severini and the composer Luigi Russolo.
