{"product_id":"antique-french-marble-bistro-table-2","title":"Antique French Marble Top Cast Iron Bistro Table","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA round French café table of the kind that once filled Parisian sidewalks and brasseries, with a pale veined marble top set on a fluted cast iron pedestal that splays into three scrolled feet. The compact size makes it a natural two-seater for a breakfast corner or an entry, or a generous side table beside a chair. The top has cleaned up to a soft bright white with grey veining running through the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 23.5 in diameter, 29 in high\u003cbr\u003e[d]Finish | Cast iron base with worn original black paint; marble cleaned, unpolished\u003cbr\u003e[d]Primary Material | Marble top, cast iron base\u003cbr\u003e[d]Period | Antique\u003cbr\u003e[d]Date | Circa 1890 to 1910\u003cbr\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003cbr\u003e[d]Style | French café \/ bistro\u003cbr\u003e[d]Also Known As | guéridon de bistrot\u003cbr\u003e[d]Maker | Unmarked; raised casting detail present on the base\u003cbr\u003e[d]Construction | Round marble top on a three-footed cast iron pedestal, fluted column, scrolled foliate feet, threaded plate union\u003cbr\u003e[d]Availability | One of two individually listed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[condition]\u003cbr\u003eStructurally sound and standing solidly on its cast iron tripod base. The marble top rests on the base in its original manner and is stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe marble top has a crack that runs through the stone to the edge; this is disclosed plainly as a structural condition of the top. It is common in antique café marbles of this age and does not affect the table's stability in normal use, but it is a permanent flaw and the top should be handled and moved with care. The top has been cleaned and presents as a bright, soft white with natural grey veining and only faint remaining surface marks; light iron-oxide spotting is present in places. The underside is hand-finished and rough, with oxidation and old bedding residue at the mounting plate that match the age of the base, indicating the top and base have been together for a very long time. The marble surface is unpolished, in its cleaned but unrestored state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cast iron base retains worn original black paint with surface oxidation and rust bloom in the recesses of the casting. The column joins the feet at a threaded cast plate with long-oxidized hardware. There is raised cast detail on the base but no legible foundry name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe date is given as a construction-and-wear-based estimate from the hand-finished marble underside, the aged threaded union, and the character of the casting; there is no maker's mark or dated stamp. All dimensions are as measured.
