Where should a centre table go?

These tables are designed to stand completely free in the middle of a room, serving as a focal point beneath a central ceiling rose or chandelier. Ensure there is adequate perimeter space to walk entirely around the piece without obstruction.

How heavy are stone tops?

Solid marble slabs possess considerable weight, which provides natural stability without requiring mechanical fastening to the floorboards. Two people are typically required to lift and position the stone separate from the timber base during relocation.

Can I place lamps on them?

The sturdy stone surface handles lighting fixtures and decorative objects easily, which accounts for their historical classification as lamp tables. The cool, hard plane resists heat and scratching from heavy bronze or ceramic bases.

How do I identify French Empire style?

Look for strong architectural geometry, rich mahogany timbers, and classical mounts that reflect early 19th-century design ideals. These pieces often feature austere lines contrasted with polished stone and occasional gilt enrichment.
