Topped with a beautifully veined marble slab, this piece once served as a working display or preparation table in a bakery, butcher shop, or café. Its rolling cast-iron casters make it easily movable, a unique feature we don't often see.

The overall effect is one of sculptural grace and quiet grandeur — a piece that bridges utility and art. It would make a stunning kitchen island, console table, or pastry display in a modern setting, bringing a touch of French elegance and lived-in patina. See less
