French Modernist Cobalt Blue Octogonal Outdoor Table c. 1950 - 50½" x 31½"

Elegantly utilitarian, this mid-20th century French garden table features an octagonal iron top in a saturated cobalt blue, set on its original bent tubular iron base with looped legs and an X-form stretcher. A circular opening at the center will accommodate an umbrella. Its trim, practical silhouette comfortably seats four. The surface bears layered paint with scattered losses, age spotting, and oxidation to the base. Overall, the table remains stable and structurally sound, with an appealing weathered patina consistent with long-term outdoor use. The tubular iron construction is both sturdy and lightweight, designed for durability and easy maintenance.

This piece lends character to a terrace, balcony, or sunroom as a small dining or café table, pairing well with slatted or metal bistro chairs. Indoors, it can anchor a casual breakfast nook or serve as a plant table, its patinated iron offering a pleasing contrast to clean plaster or natural wood. A simple glass overlay can refine the surface while retaining the honest, weathered finish.
