This magnificent Ram's Head Coffee Table is from the 1970s. The heads are patinated brass. Alas, it is $5200.

    Does it come with lines of coke?

    I totally saw skulls and not heads the first time too.

  • skramble

    that price totally seems worth it. what a fine table!

  • indiekid

    The original was designed by Chervet, this is a 1970′s knockoff, but the original cost 4 times this… I’d still say a good buy as they will never cast another one like it, or if they do it’ll be in resin.

    Beautiful!
    My first thought, I admit, was this:
    Satan must have one of these in his formal sitting room.

    Michael Jackson’s estate auction was just listed, and there’s one of these tables estimated to sell for the low low price of $400.

    Those are ibex heads, I think, not rams. Just sorting the sheep from the goats…

    This is seriously badass. I want a set. Skulls, metal, and glass mix well.

  • Gilbert Wham

    Needs white shag-pile for the full pimpalicious look. Plus a pile of cocaine on the tabletop.

  • General Specific

    I like it; particularly the shadows it casts. I wonder why the ears were included?

    Forget the $5200. A little bit of digging and I found it for $2200.

    General Specific: Without ears, it would be creepy, of course.

  • General Specific

    You’re right. I see skulls where I should be seing heads.
