Our Ceramic Faux-Marbre Bistro Tables have the look of natural marble and are ideal for hospitality use. Ceramics are a stronger, more durable option than marble. Each piece is made from compressed natural stone and fired at a temperature over 2,200°F (1200°C). The result is a non-porous stone, so it is stain-proof and scratch-resistant. It is also heat and UV-resistant. Ceramic never needs to be sealed, nor does it absorb liquids, making it ideal for restaurant and bar use. It is also almost indistinguishable from real stone and can remain outdoors. The brass rim has an antiqued, seamless brass band encompassing the stone's rim. The base features the same detail from an early 20th-century French bistro table. We replicated the construction process, including how the marble is affixed to the table. These tables can be used indoors or outdoors, but it's best to keep them under an overhang. If kept in direct sunlight, the brass band may tarnish over time. Measures 20" dia x 28" tall.
