This French side table features a round light-colored faux-bois top, sitting above a custom-made iron base made of three splayed legs connected to one another through a thin cross stretcher. The faux-bois technique, imitating wood (literally meaning false wood in French), became particularly popular in France at the end of the 19th century.
