These are antique pieces and are sold as such. Although VV does its best to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected reflecting the age and previous use of the piece.
This rectangular travertine coffee table, crafted in France during the 1970s, introduces a warmer and more chromatic palette than its Italian counterparts — cream and honey tones that give the stone a luminous depth distinct from the cooler ivories of Italian travertine of the same period.
The top — 126 × 74 cm with a 2 cm thickness — rests at 43 cm height, presenting a generous horizontal surface with the proportions of a primary living table. The honey tones of the French travertine absorb and return warm light in a way that shifts through the day — amber in morning light, golden in afternoon sun, deep cream in artificial light. A stone that lives differently depending on when and how it is seen.
French travertine furniture of the 1970s is significantly less common in the European secondary market than its Italian equivalent — the material was quarried and worked in smaller quantities, and pieces of this scale and condition represent a rare find for collectors who know the difference.
A warm and materially distinctive example of French postwar stone design — defined by the exceptional chromatic character of its travertine.
Year: 1970s Origin: France Material: Solid travertine — cream and honey tones Measurements: 126 × 74 × 43 cm · Top thickness 2 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material
