No manf that I can find. It looks to be handmade. I'm probably going to send it back as it just feels a lot cheaper than expected. Thanks for the help!

Antique Questions Forum / Vintage Marble Coffee Table

« on: August 23, 2016, 02:44:37 pm »

I bought this (notably eccentric) vintage coffee table online and it arrived today. The table was advertised as a a "solid marble top" which it looked to be from the photos. When I got it today I found the stone top is actually laid out in strips with a wood backing. Is this common? the surface feels lighter/cheaper than I expected.

It is apparently from the 1950s and has been in storage for a long time; good condition. That said, I paid close to $300 with the expectation that I could sell it again if I couldn't make it work in my living room. So I'm interested in the opinions of people on this forum. I have 24 hours to return if "solid marble top" is fact a misrepresentation.

Thanks!
