Our tables are the most authentically made French marble bistro tables on the world market. From the Italian Carrara Marble to the seamless brass rim, all aspects of the tables have been faithfully reproduced from late 19th-century French bistro tables. Tables like ours were initially made famous during Paris' Belle Époque, and after 150 years, they continue to be used in daily Parisienne cafés and restaurant life. Like our rattan furniture, our tables are meant to be used. They easily hold up to daily restaurant life. Their solid marble top and cast iron base are constructed to the same standards as the originals, including the band, which encircles the marble for protection and features an antiqued, seamless brass hoop.
