FRENCH BISTRO TABLES HISTORY
The first French bistros appeared in Paris around the 1600`s. The Cafe Procope was one of them. They sit somewhere between a café and a restaurant. They differed from the traditional taverns or drink houses because they used small tables with marble tops and often folding chairs, so business owners could stack them, avoiding paying the rent for an outdoor space. The Industrial Revolution brought decorative iron & cast metal bases to these tables. In the 20th Century the materials have sometimes slightly changed, but always keeping within the original style & proportions. Today they work well and are very fashionable in interiors as side tables placed next to a sofa or armchair.
