Watch Out!

There are a few things to lookout for when buying a reproduction Marble Tulip Table.
  • Often created with a man-made marble with artificially created imprints 
  • Marble top is coated with a plastic film that can leads to air pockets and an uneven texture 
  • Base generally have poor quality paint finishes that leads to easy chipping. Many are uneven and have paint bubbles or divots
  • Most bases are made of low cost fiberglass, this type of base has too much flex and create a table that will wobble just from touching the edge.  This is a very very common problem with cheap reproductions.
