Dulwich Modern 4 Seater Round Marble Dining Table 120cm With Gold Hairpin Style Legs

Engineered Marble Tabletop

Engineered marble is an innovative composite material made to replicate the luxurious aesthetics of natural marble. Our engineered marble tables are made from 90% natural marble chips and crushed stone which is combined with polyester resin binders. 

This mixture is poured into moulds to achieve the desired shape and size. The cast base undergoes a controlled curing process under specific temperature and pressure conditions. This allows the polyester resin to crosslink and solidify, transforming the mixture into a rock solid and stable material. Once cooled, the surface undergoes a grinding and polishing process using diamond-tipped grinding wheels, ensuring a flawlessly smooth and level foundation.

Multiple coats of high-quality lacquer specially formulated for engineered stone surfaces are then applied to the table. This is what creates the coveted high-gloss finish and adds the unique veining and intricate patterns, replicating the natural variations of real marble. These layers aren't just for aesthetics; they act as a protective shield, ensuring resistance to stains, minor scratches, moisture and even UV rays.

Key Benefits

• Aesthetic Appeal: With advanced manufacturing techniques, engineered marble achieves a stunning resemblance to natural marble, complete with intricate veins and a variety of patterns and hues. The high gloss marble effect lacquer enhances its beauty, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated finish, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of this earthy natural stone without the hefty price tag and demanding maintenance.
• Minor Scratch Resistance: The high-gloss lacquer acts as a protective layer, making the surface more resistant to minor scratches, enhancing the table's durability and suitability for everyday use.
• Heat Resistance: Engineered marble dining tables offer superior heat resistance, making them an ideal choice for homes and settings where hot dishes are common.
• Easy maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of the lacquered engineered marble is relatively easy to clean with regular wiping using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Environmental Sustainability: Engineered marble often incorporates recycled materials, reducing the demand for quarrying natural stone. This contributes to environmental conservation, making it a more sustainable choice.

Gold Chrome Metal Base

Creating our metal table bases with a stunning gold chrome finish is a multi-step process. It begins with cutting and shaping the metal to the desired design, followed by precision welding for stability. After this, we carefully grind the surfaces to smooth perfection. 

Next comes the electroplating process. a thin layer of copper, followed by a layer of bright nickel is electroplated, which offers a higher reflectivity, laying the foundation for the gold colour. The final step involves electroplating the base with gold alloy for a luxurious touch.The newly gold-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

Care guide

• Regular Cleaning: For routine maintenance, wipe your engineered marble table with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for any stubborn stains, but avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the surface.
• Prompt Spill Cleanup: Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining. Although engineered marble is more stain-resistant than natural stone, certain substances, if left unattended, can penetrate the sealant.
• Use Placemats: While engineered marble boasts a heat resistant surface, it is still advisable to protect the table's surface by using coasters under glasses and placing hot dishes on trivets or mats to ensure the table maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acidic products (vinegar, citrus cleaners), or bleach, as they can dull the finish, etch the surface, or cause permanent stains.

Sizing Guide

• Space: Allow around 90 cm (36 inches) of clearance between the table and the walls or other furniture to ensure comfortable seating and movement.
• Table Shape: For long rooms and open spaces, rectangular or oval tables often are the most natural fit, maximising space utilisation and creating a balanced look. Round or square tables can also work if you want to leave extra room for additional furniture pieces to complement your dining area. For smaller dining areas, round or square tables are often the ideal choice, promoting conversation and creating a sense of intimacy.
