Marble Garden Table

France, 20th Century

$1,495

Vintage One-Of-A-Kind Garden

A marble top could sit out in the weather for years and only come to look better for it. Found in Montpellier, this vintage garden table sets a thick slab of white marble on a cast-iron base, two scrolled iron ends joined low by a crossed stretcher and worn to a soft black. Marble and iron were what the French built their café and garden tables from, the stone shrugging off rain and spilled wine while the iron stayed heavy enough to hold its place in a breeze. Sylvie sets it out on a shaded terrace with two chairs pulled up, a carafe and a bowl of peaches on the cool marble, a table to linger at long after the plates are cleared.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, these pieces have lived outdoors for years and show minor chips and surface wear consistent with their age. The thick stone top sits on the base without being attached and shows some dark staining. The painted metal base has areas of flaking paint and rust patina, all part of the character we love in an old garden piece.
