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 made of steel, and 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. Its spacious top measures 40” wide by 86” long and 4” thick. It is weighted with concrete bucks placed inside to prevent the slim base from tipping over.
