The tripod base features an elegant fluted shaft and a relief floral design characteristic of Belle Époque café furniture. Its black patina, revealing traces of its original golden hues in places, highlights the relief of the cast iron and attests to its age. Added at a later date, the 1970s tabletop consists of ceramic tiles with geometric patterns in orange, brown, and cream. It is surrounded by a metal band with a golden patina. The combination of these two eras creates a unique and decorative piece, blending the charm of old French cafés with the graphic aesthetic of the 1970s. It can be used as a bistro table, a small dining table, or a side table. Its small size also makes it suitable for outdoor use, such as in a garden, on a patio, or on a balcony. Good condition.
