Key Visual Features
- Tabletop: A thick, round slab of polished white marble with prominent grey veining and an elegant, stepped edge profile marked Made in Italy*
- Pedestal Base: A slender pedestal crafted from cast brass or bronze with a rich, aged patina
- Decorative Metalwork: The central column incorporates openwork (reticulated) geometric patterns, leading down to a flared, circular base decorated with ornate, pierced scrollwork and floral motifs
- *The monogram features the stylized letters "MPC" which is a common vintage industrial mark found on mid-century Italian marble slabs imported for furniture production. During the mid-20th century (primarily the 1950s through the 1970s), Italian stone workshops stamped the undersides of quarried, cut, and polished marble tops before shipping them globally to be paired with various brass, iron, or wood furniture bases.
