Italian Art Déco Sofa Table Solid Iron With Marble Top By Vittorio Ducrot 1920s

Impressive Art Deco iron coffee table/side table with hammered surface and rusty grey marble top.

The legs are exaggeratedly flared and then taper, this movement in the legs gives this heavy iron table a certain lightness despite the heavy materials used.
The rusty grey colour of the waxed iron base harmonizes perfectly with the rusty grey stone with white veining.
The marble top measures 46 x 54 cm and has a brushed surface.
