Know before you buy
This table retains its original wood finish, which features a natural patina developed over the last 80 years. You should expect minor scratches and surface wear consistent with its age, all of which contribute to its authentic vintage character.
The table is supported by three rounded feet, which provide a stable foundation on most flat surfaces. Because it is a vintage piece, we recommend using small felt pads if you are placing it on particularly uneven hardwood or tile floors.
The table has a diameter of 15.75 inches. It is perfectly sized to hold a single beverage, a small lamp, or a book, making it an ideal companion for a reading nook or between two lounge chairs.
Designed by Charles Dudouyt in 1940s France, this table is defined by its substantial, carved wood block stem and thoughtful architectural details. The base features a distinct etched ring, showcasing the high level of artistry typical of Dudouyt’s mid-century work.
The table stands at 20 inches tall. This height is generally well-suited for standard-sized armchairs or sofas, ensuring it remains functional and accessible.
