Roman folding table, Tripus

Roman tripod (Tripus) with figural decorations. Due to the variable width of the stand, the table can carry any plates or bowls between 20 and 60 cm in diameter. The table has a height of about 65cm, other heights are possible on request. The delivery is made with a simple brass plate. Depending on availability, the shape and size may vary from the pictured plate!
The basis of the reconstruction was an original find of a table base with lions head (see picture). The stand was reconstructed in its proportions according to similiar finds. The figurative busts at the top end are copies of a find from the Saalburg Museum, and were designed to match the size of the roman folding table. The Bacchus or Maenad figures carry hooks on the back, in which ring eyelets of water or fire basins can be hung. This makes the Roman folding table versatile for various purposes.

Handcrafted in solid brass, delivery without the depicted decorative items.

Folding tables or tripods were stands on which plates, bowls, platters or trays were placed. They were widespread as versatile pieces of furniture both in the cultic use and also in the dining rooms (triclinium) of the Roman upper class. 
These splendid folding table tripods were also found among the Germanic upper classes and were brought to Germania either as gifts, trade goods or loot. For example, the folding table from the ceremonial tomb at Gommern is known to have a wooden top decorated with brass fittings of Germanic manufacture.
