How do I clean an antique marble top?

Wipe the surface gently with a soft damp cloth and mild neutral soap, avoiding acidic cleaning agents that etch stone. Dry the marble thoroughly afterwards to prevent water spots from settling into the porous material.

Were these always coffee tables?

Many items sold today as coffee tables began life as plant stands, jardiniere supports or occasional tables. Victorian and Edwardian households adapted these lower furniture forms to suit changing domestic seating arrangements over time.

How can I tell French from Chinese styles?

French examples typically display giltwood, walnut, or wrought iron frames influenced by Louis XVI or Rococo revival designs. Chinese pieces rely on dense rosewood or hongmu timbers featuring pierced carvings and inset variegated marble tops.

Is the marble attached to the frame?

Most marble inserts rest securely within a rebated wooden frame under their own considerable weight. Larger centre tables and heavier specimen marble tops occasionally utilise hidden brackets or wooden battens underneath for stability.
