About

A charming 19th century French bistro table, crafted circa 1870, featuring a colorful terrazzo top inset with marble fragments in tones of white, ochre, black, and red. The circular top is framed with a hand-applied brass band, its gently worn edge lending a subtle antique character. The decorative surface is arranged in concentric rings, offering visual depth and a vibrant mosaic-style effect typical of late 19th-century Parisian café culture. The base is cast iron with a turned column and stepped circular foot, stamped “DEPOSE” along with a decorative maker’s mark, an indication of protected design registration in France. The iron has developed a rich, timeworn patina, enhancing its industrial charm and authenticity. Standing 27.75 inches tall and measuring 21.75 inches in diameter, this antique table is ideal for an entryway, balcony, or intimate breakfast nook. A sturdy and sculptural piece that blends decorative appeal with lasting durability. Excellent antique condition with minor wear consistent with age and use
