Know before you buy
Yes, the table retains its original oak finish. It has been preserved to showcase the authentic patina and character developed over its decades of existence.
The table is highly stable. It is supported by four robust, carved wood stems that provide a solid foundation for the thick circular top.
The table measures 18 inches in height and 31.25 inches in diameter, making it a versatile size for most standard living room seating arrangements.
The parquet detailing is integrated into the solid oak construction. We recommend standard care for vintage wood furniture, such as using coasters and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners to protect the original finish.
Absolutely. Due to its height and circular profile, it works equally well as a statement side table or a low display piece in an entryway or library.
