Alhambra Rectangular Coffee Table

A slab of pale limestone floats on a slim dark frame, the kind of table that keeps its opinions to itself.

This Alhambra rectangular coffee table is a contemporary piece from the Primitive Collection, in huali and limestone. Huali is a trade name for certain rosewoods, valued in Chinese furniture for their dense grain and rich color. The top is a long, flat rectangle of cream limestone with faint mottling. It rests on a dark, slender frame of round members, with legs that turn softly into the apron and a long stretcher running low along each side. Short end stretchers complete the base. It is 63 inches long, 24 deep and 13.75 high.

Long, low and in no hurry.
