AI-assisted summary

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.
