Folding table of French origin with a tubular metal frame and solid metal top, white, vintage style dating to approximately the 1950s–1980s, dimensions H70 x W76 x D50 cm, used condition with age-related wear and patina.
Description from the seller
Authentic French folding table – early/mid 20th century
Measurements: H 70 cm – W 76 cm – D 50 cm
Original French folding table, a rare example of bistro or work furniture with a tubular metal frame and a solid sheet metal top, still showing traces of vintage paint and the characteristic red decorative border. A well-used piece, full of industrial charm, with an authentic patina that cannot be artificially recreated.
The structure features the typical French scissor closing system, perfectly legible: an elegant and functional mechanism, with hinges, pins, and original blocks, that allows the table to fold completely. A refined technical solution that is now highly appreciated by collectors and interior decorators.
The piece, worn by time and use, shows signs, wear, scratches, oxidations, and discolorations that enhance its aesthetic appeal. Even the metal frame retains traces of the original paint, with beautiful natural oxidations.
An ideal object for industrial, rustic-chic, bistro, atelier environments, or as a decorative element for photographic or retail scenography.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Conditions
Genuinely experienced conditions, with wear consistent with age.
Oxidation, discoloration, minor deformations, and signs of use on the surface and structure.
Original folding mechanism, complete in its parts, with a beautiful patina.
The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.
Note
Original and rare piece, highly sought after in vintage French design. Ready to be used as is for those who love the charm of patina, or restored while maintaining all its original structural elements.
