Antique Belgian Cast Iron and Carrara Marble Bistro or Side Table, Circa 1900
Located in Dallas, TX
Before being repurposed into a bistro / side table, this cast iron base was part of a sewing table from Belgium, circa 1900. The ¾” inch thick white carrara marble top with gray veining was added more recently, allowing a butcher shop in southern Belgium to use this as a display table. A small pad foot sits beneath each of the four legs that are formed by a series of intertwining C- and S-scrolls and florets. The entire base has been painted dark green, while the outside facades have a raised fluted motif. In the center of the base is a large medallion that is affixed to each leg by a C-scroll (the bottom scrolls are reinforced by square bolts and washers). The medallion consists of a pair of intertwined volute scrolls surrounded by an ovate border. Two of the legs are connected by a horizontal bar, which is the remnant of the foot treadle from the old sewing table. This Belgian cast iron and carrara marble table would make a nice outdoor bistro table...

Antique and Vintage Industrial Tables and Work Tables

From drafting tables to preparation tables to kitchen islands and more, the collection of antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables on 1stDibs features a wide range of robust furnishings that fit seamlessly into modern interiors.

Work tables, just like most tables, have evolved considerably over the years.

More than 1,000 years before iconic American furniture brand Herman Miller would help shape the way we work — and later, how we live at home — monks who lived and worked in medieval-era monasteries stood at what you might call crude writing desks, translating religious texts and copying them by hand.

While those who practiced the art of handwritten letters definitely needed a suitable writing desk, the world wouldn’t see proper roll-top desks and the like until the 19th century. Owing to the work of architects such as ​​Antoni Gaudí, these monastery “desks” were essentially work tables. (Chairs, much less actual desk chairs, weren’t a part of the workspace until the Renaissance.) It was a far cry from the cozy home office that affords many of us the opportunity to work remotely today.

Near the end of the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution brought with it the founding of mills and factories, and hand production methods gave way to machinery and mass production. Factory workers needed sturdy industrial tables to perform tasks that required precision and to support the manufacturing industry. Spare work tables — durable and easy to clean — were constructed of metal and wood and became essential on assembly lines and in packing facilities. Today, industrial-style furniture celebrates the past even as it suggests vigor, productivity and brawn.

Aside from how well antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables will fit in your industrial-style interior — think raw brick walls, exposed steel beams and oak floors — these furnishings have practical uses. They’re a must-have item for a number of creative endeavors: They’re an ideal food-prep surface in your kitchen or an efficient work surface for any kind of hands-on workshop or painting and drawing studio. With some creativity, you can turn a vintage wood industrial table or work table into a desk, dining room table or coffee table.

At 1stDibs, we love the industrial-style furniture trend, and here you can find a wide range of antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables as well as other furnishings that will look wonderful in your heavenly loft space.
