The Tulip table was designed around 1955-1957. We believe the version offered here dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s. The tabletop is made of Botticino marble. Typically, marble tops were made of Arbescato or Carrara marble. Therefore, it can be assumed that this is a custom-made piece or a limited edition.

The previous owner had the polyester resin coating of the tabletop professionally removed a few years ago, revealing the full beauty of the Botticino marble. The tabletop has a small "water stain" that blends into the overall appearance of the structure and is only noticeable upon close inspection and exposure to light. Otherwise, the tabletop shows only slight signs of wear. The base has been varnished and shows minor stains and partial paint chips. The wooden support between the marble top and the base has slight superficial damage. This is only visible when standing under the table and is therefore negligible.

Dimensions: Tabletop diameter 107 cm, base diameter 51.5 cm, height to bottom edge of table approx. 69.5 cm.
