Heavy Riveted Industrial Table Base
This table features a one-of-a-kind Industrial base. We discovered this amazing hand-wrought and riveted drum in an early brick foundry building. It's at least 100-125 years old. It was salvaged off a huge parts polishing machine. When in use this drum was filled with a fine sand and would slowly tumble the cast parts until they were smooth. This drum must weigh at least 300 lbs... so it's more than sturdy. We took a close up picture of the rivets and paint patina... the finish and age can't be duplicated. Only a century of wear can do that. The rivets are hand-hammered and are each about the size of a dime. The bottom has a 32 inch diameter and tapers to 22 inches. You are buying the base only. We show the table with a 50 inch glass top for illustration purposes only. Any type of surface will work well on this base including marble|steel|wood or glass. 29 in.H x 32in.Dia. $1,400
