Know before you buy
This piece is in excellent vintage condition. The rope remains structurally sound and retains its original texture and twisted detailing, consistent with its 1960s origin.
Yes, the original patterned glass top is designed to sit within the rope frame. It can be carefully lifted out for easy cleaning or maintenance.
The integrated magazine holder is designed for standard reading materials like magazines, journals, or thin books. While sturdy, it is not intended for heavy items or large stacks of hardcover books.
To keep the rope in top shape, we recommend dusting it periodically with a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum attachment. Avoid using harsh liquid cleaners or water directly on the rope to prevent fraying or discoloration.
The table is surprisingly stable for its size. The tension and craftsmanship of the original Audoux-Minet construction provide a solid base for everyday use as a side table or accent piece.
