Know before you buy
This is an authentic 19th-century piece dating back to circa 1820, not a modern reproduction.
Marble is a porous natural stone, so it is best to wipe up spills immediately, especially acidic liquids like wine or lemon juice. We recommend using a stone-safe sealer periodically to help protect the surface from etching and staining.
The bleached finish lightens the natural wood tones, giving the piece a softer, more contemporary aesthetic while still highlighting the original grain and texture of the 19th-century timber.
Due to the construction of 19th-century pedestal tables, the marble top is typically heavy and rests securely on the base. We recommend professional assistance when moving the piece to ensure both the stone and the wood base remain stable.
While it is a historic piece, the French Empire pedestal design is engineered for structural stability. However, because it is an antique, it is best suited for light to moderate use rather than high-traffic family dining.
