With its white marble and gilded brass, this second-hand coffee table brings a contemporary and refined touch to the living room. Its balanced proportions easily accommodate a few art books, a low vase, or a decorative bowl, while the brass base subtly emphasizes the whole. It naturally pairs with a light fabric sofa as well as darker seating, establishing a measured presence in the room. Placed in front of a sofa, it accompanies moments of reading or coffee time with a beautiful balance. Like all vintage furniture, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 101 cm Width: 45 cm Height: 47 cm A brief history of the coffee table Unlike dining tables, the coffee table only truly emerged in the early 20th century with the evolution of living rooms towards more comfort and relaxation. Its intentionally low structure, designed to align with the seating height of armchairs, is inspired by Eastern tea tables and 19th-century coffee tables. Known as a "salon table" or "cocktail table," it is defined by its generous top supported by a short and sturdy base.
