The Table of Silence sits beside the Jiu River at the western end of the Calea Eroilor axis. It is a circular limestone table, 2.15 metres in diameter, surrounded by 12 hourglass-shaped seats. The form is simple to the point of severity — a table and stools, elementary shapes, limestone worn smooth by time and touch.
The hourglass seats are the key: this shape was an ancient Oltenian symbol for the soul, and Brâncuși used it to charge an apparently simple piece of furniture with resonance. This is the quietest of the three main works in the ensemble, and perhaps the most affecting. From here, looking east along the Alley of Chairs, the Gate of the Kiss is visible in the middle distance and the Endless Column beyond it against the sky.
