Vintage travertine coffee table

This octagonal coffee table in travertine and red marble, in a brutalist or Italian Mid-Century style from the 1970s-1980s, is characterised by its massive geometric top and matching central base, reminiscent of creations by Roche Bobois or Italian design of the era. The main top clearly shows the parallel horizontal lines and the characteristic beige hues of vein-cut travertine, highlighting the natural sedimentary layering of the stone. The edges also feature a fine bevelled border in pink/red marble, which emphasises the octagonal cut of the table. * The top and main base: They are made of beige travertine, identifiable by its sandy hues and small natural cavities that characterise this stone. * The contrasting border: The pink/red trim that frames the top is a genuine marble insert (often red marble from Languedoc or Alicante marble), used to highlight its geometric octagonal shape. The presence of the red marble trim makes it more desirable than a standard plain travertine table. The top is removable. The table is in good structural condition, with only the varnish showing signs of use such as cracks. The base of the leg may appear lighter.
