Each table features a narrow triangular footprint — ideal for corners or flanking an entryway — and two triangular white Carrara marble shelves set within a hand-worked gilt iron frame detailed with twisted rope motifs, draped tassel swags, and scroll-feet. The underside of the marble is stamped “Made in Italy” and also bears a square “SF” hallmark, suggesting connection to the Firenze workshop of S. Salvadori -- renowned for gilt-iron and marble furniture of Italian Neoclassical influence. The aesthetic is rooted in Hollywood Regency glamour, combining classical ornaments (rope and tassel finials) with a sleek, mid-century sensibility.

During the 1950s–1970s, Italian decorative furniture found strong demand on the American market, as the luxury interior trade embraced finely wrought gilt-metal and marble designs that referenced classical European motifs but were executed with modern precision. The Florentine atelier S. Salvadori (often marketed simply as “S. Salvadori Firenze” or "SF") is known for its mid-century gilt-metal furniture — especially chairs, tables, and lighting executed in ornate wheat-sheaf, tassel, and rope motifs — now highly sought after collectibles. The design, materials, mark and country-of-origin of these tables all strongly align with works attributed to the firm.
