The circular Bakelite top is supported by a substantial cast-iron base whose tapered stem and broad, stepped feet display the strong geometric vocabulary so characteristic of Art Deco design. The base is marked LV for Louis Vuitton, an important identifying detail clearly visible near the junction of the feet. This example is distinguished by its dark, almost black finish, with traces of an earlier red layer revealed along the edges and areas of rubbing. These flashes of color add depth and emphasize the relief of the molded base. The top is pierced at the center to accommodate a parasol, identifying it as one of the scarce versions conceived for terrace use. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe design belongs to a little-known chapter of Louis Vuitton’s interwar involvement with furniture and hospitality interiors. Created with Éditions Rex during the 1930s, these compact pedestal tables translated the house’s language of luxury and travel into robust, practical furniture for refined cafés, hotels, and other sophisticated settings. The heavy cast-iron construction gave stability, while the stepped geometry and streamlined profile placed the design firmly within the Art Deco vocabulary of the period. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe near-black finish gives this example a particularly chic, architectural character, while the red showing through areas of wear adds depth and a layered patina. Compact but visually assertive, it works beautifully beside an armchair or sofa, or as an intimate drinks table for two on a covered terrace. Together with the burgundy version, this compelling piece of French design history could form a striking near pair, linked by form but distinguished by color and patina. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 27½\" high x 20½\" diameter \u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 70cm high x 52cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chez Pluie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251410489682,"sku":"25183","price":4595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1166\/6698\/files\/DSC04141_83180297-428b-4d35-a5f0-609af8f57148.jpg?v=1786625143","url":"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/louis-vuitton-art-deco-bistro-table-in-black-c-1930s-271-2-x-201-2","provider":"Chez Pluie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
