Why pick Mission Table?

Iron Base Design

The table’s base features three large S-scroll legs that curl outward in elegant symmetry. These curves are grounded by a square central stretcher with intricate scrollwork, which visually ties the structure together and provides added stability. The vertical support column connects these elements fluidly, giving the base a pedestal-like presence suitable for dining table height.

Construction & Craftsmanship

The base is handcrafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques—including heating, bending, and hammering iron by hand. The lack of rigid uniformity in the curves and scrolls speaks to artisanal production, likely from Mexican Colonial workshops or inspired by Andalusian ironwork traditions.

Texture & Finish

The wrought iron is finished in a dark, possibly patinated or wax-sealed coating that reveals light tooling marks. This textural honesty enhances the rustic authenticity and complements the organic feel of the hammered copper top.

Decorative Elements

• Signature S-scroll legs
• Scroll-filled square stretcher
• Focus on form, not ornate flourishes
• Balanced structure and decorative curves

Copper Tabletop Features

Material & Texture

The natural fired hammered copper top is rich in depth and variation, showcasing a blend of reds, browns, and darkened accents from the firing process. The hammered texture creates a dynamic play of light across the surface, enhancing its warmth and giving it an aged, artisanal appeal.

Craftsmanship

This kind of copperwork is a specialty of Mexican artisans, particularly from regions like Santa Clara del Cobre. The hammered finish is achieved by manually striking the copper sheet, often recycled, and shaping it around a wood or metal substructure.
