The detailed base incorporates slender architectural legs, decorative collars, fixed X-form cross-bracing, and gracefully shaped feet.

Its refined silhouette draws upon French Directoire and Empire design while retaining the lighter, more streamlined character associated with mid-20th-century European interiors. The softly aged brass finish provides a warm counterpoint to the dramatic black-and-white marble.

At 27 inches high with a compact 17-inch diameter, the table is particularly versatile beside a sofa or lounge chair, between two occasional chairs, or as a sculptural pedestal table in an entry, library, dressing room, or bath. Exceptionally heavy and substantial for its size, with an iron support beneath the marble providing additional stability. See less
