Another vintage marble café table has found its way into our home. This one is a bit smaller than the others we have which makes it the perfect auxiliary table for the bedroom. I love mixing these classic pieces with contemporary items like the candle holder by WOUD.
I wasn’t really looking to buy another marble table, but I happened upon this piece while browsing around a charity shop near our flat here in Berlin. I even managed to negotiate the price down to 20 euro, which gives me the feeling that my German is improving 😉
The base was actually painted fire-engine red when I bought it. Terrible, I know – but nothing a can of black spray-paint couldn’t fix. The pedestal is heavy cast icon and naturally black. It’s so unfortunate that someone painted it in the first place. To do this table justice, I really should have sanded off the many layers of paint to restore the natural cast iron. Of course it would have taken me hours to sand away all the paint, so I took the spray-painting shortcut.
This simple but clever candle holder by WOUD is also a new addition to our home. I really like the repeating circle elements and how this creates the foundation of both the form and function. I’m sure I’ll enjoy moving it around from room to room like I do with my other candle holders.
