Know before you buy
Yes, the marble features an aged patina that reflects its 1940s origin. These natural variations and signs of use are part of the piece's history and contribute to its unique character.
The drawers are original to the piece and feature the authentic brass circular hardware. While they function well, they operate with the tactile, manual feel typical of mid-century French craftsmanship rather than modern soft-close glides.
Absolutely. With a height of 35.5 inches and a depth of 22 inches, its proportions work well as a sophisticated console table. The marble top provides a durable, elegant surface for displaying decor or holding everyday essentials.
The marble top is a structural component of the dresser. Given the weight and age of the piece, it is designed to remain fixed to the oak frame.
For the oak, use a soft, dry cloth to dust regularly and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. The marble should be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap to protect the stone's finish and prevent staining.
