The top is cut from Belgian bluestone, its matte surface marked by fine speckling and subtle variation that gives the stone a quiet depth. A light-toned composite band beneath the stone introduces a subtle break—softening the transition and giving the top a layered, slightly lifted profile.

Below, two substantial wood supports anchor the piece. Left largely unrefined, the blocks reveal the natural character of the timber—end grain exposed, with visible splits that speak to the raw cut of the material.

The composition is direct: stone resting on wood, weight balanced by openness. Low in height and grounded in proportion, it works easily within a seating arrangement—substantial enough to hold a room, but restrained enough to layer with other pieces.

Condition: Great vintage condition. The bluestone top has been professionally refinished and honed by our team of restorationists, bringing out its natural variation and matte surface. Minor surface wear remains, consistent with age. The composite edge shows areas of wear and small losses, typical of the material over time. The wood base retains its original character, with visible splits and surface variation inherent to the timber. Structurally sound and presents well.
