Marble Accent Tables
That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
A marble accent table brings real weight to a small footprint, with veined stone that reads cool in daylight and catches a soft glow under a lamp. These are the stone pieces among our accent table collection, chosen for the material first.
What a Marble Accent Table Does to a Room
Even a small marble top makes a corner feel anchored in a way wood and metal rarely manage, and the veining gives the eye something to follow up close. In a moody room it is often the coolest surface in sight, a useful counterpoint to warm wood, velvet and leather. The downside is literal weight. Stone pieces are harder to move than a metal frame, so place them where they will stay.
How to Choose a Marble Accent Table
White, Black or Brown Stone
White marble brightens a dark corner and shows the strongest contrast in its veining. Black marble is quieter, with veining that appears only when light crosses it. Brown marble sits closer to wood tones and settles into a room without much contrast at all.
The Base Under a Marble Accent Table
A pedestal base keeps a marble top looking light despite its weight. A brass or gold base adds warmth under cool stone. A black metal base lets the top float. Match the base to the other metals in the room, not to the stone.
Marble Accent Table Size
Most of these tops are 18" across or less, enough for a lamp or a glass but rarely both at once. At the very smallest size, a marble drink table holds a single glass on a slab of stone, and those live in our drink table collection, sized for the space beside a deep chair.
A Marble Accent Table in Low Light
Marble shows its best side in the evening. Under a lamp the surface takes on a soft sheen and the veining rises the way grain does in wood. Set it where the light reaches it and keep the top nearly clear, so the veining is what the eye finds.
