Romy, the Art Deco Patinated Metal Garden Table No. 1598

This distressed metal garden table, with its white and rust hues, brings an Art Deco touch to a terrace or outdoor dining area. Its Art Deco base gives it a graphic presence, while its height under the tabletop makes it easy to pair with chairs for leisurely lunches. Distressed and second-hand, this country-style piece retains the charm of items that age naturally over time. The round metal tabletop is equally suited to a coffee in the garden or dinner under the trees. Set with a few vintage glasses and a low vase, it creates an elegant and understated scene.

A brief history of the farmhouse table
A centerpiece of rural life in the 19th century, the farmhouse table was built to last for generations and accommodate large country gatherings. It is recognizable by its thick solid wood tabletop, often marked by the passage of time, and its sturdy base, sometimes connected by a "foot rail" or stretcher. Referred to as a "refectory table" or "kitchen table," it was designed to withstand both daily chores and family banquets.
