Twenty-one inches square, twenty-five inches tall, fifty-three pounds of antique-brass finish.

Heavy enough not to shift when you set down a stack of books. Brass aging that reads vintage from day one instead of needing three years to develop the patina. Twenty-five-inch height pairs it with most sofas — landing between coffee table and side table without committing to either.

Holds a lamp, an objet, a coffee cup, pulls the room together.

A statement made in scale rather than volume.
