Bar Height Table with Steel Patinated Base
This bespoke custom bar-height wine-tasting table is designed to complement my client’s wine room.
The base of this table is steel and then I used a blend of chemicals to give it a unique patina. The result is a beautiful marbled, aged copper finish. The copper colors in the steel base accent, the copper-colored lines in the marble countertops, and the greens that appear from the patination process complement the green velvet chairs.
I used Wenge wood for the tabletop, because it complements the cabinets’ dark espresso stain. Then, I finished it with a clear coat, to highlight the wood’s natural deep espresso brown coloration.
The bar-height table stands at a comfortable bar height of 42” tall. With a spacious top measuring 40” wide by 86” long and 4” thick. To prevent the slim base from tipping over, it is weighted with concrete bucks placed inside.
