Description
This table has been purchased from an especialista Mid-Century sale at the auctioneer Fieldings Auctioneers and the description of the table is as follows “ Eero Saarinen - Knoll International - A 'Tulip' dining table, the circular marble top, raised on a spreading circular lacquered white aluminium base, indistinctly stamped to the underside of the marble, height 74cm, diameter 120cm.“ see a picture I have added for your review.
So take this in consideration if you decide to buy this table.
Behold an early exemplar of the iconic Tulip Table, conceived in 1957 by the visionary designer Eero Saarinen. With a sculptor’s eye and a poet’s sensibility, Saarinen sought to bring harmony and grace to the domestic landscape, decrying the “ugly, confusing, unrestful world” beneath tables and chairs—the tangled “slum of legs” that marred modern interiors.
What followed was a devoted five-year odyssey of form and function, culminating in the revolutionary Pedestal Collection. With this table—sleek, sculptural, and serenely balanced—Saarinen cast aside the chaos of conventional supports in favor of a singular stem, drawing inspiration from the timeless elegance of a tulip in bloom.
This particular piece, an early edition, stands not merely as furniture, but as a testament to mid-century modern ideals: unity, clarity, and a graceful defiance of the expected. Its top is hewn from fine Carrara marble, veined with delicate natural streaks that speak of the earth’s quiet artistry. Beneath, the pedestal base, finished in white, rises like a stem from the ground—elegant, unbroken, and true to Saarinen’s enduring vision of purity in design.
This table remains in its original condition, crowned with a beveled Carrara marble top graced by natural veining in tones of white, grey, and black. Time has bestowed a gentle patina, lending the surface a warm, soft birch-yellow hue—a quiet testament to its age and authenticity.
The top is secured by a central threaded rod to the elegant, sculptural base—crafted from heavy molded cast aluminum and finished in white. The base has been carefully and deeply cleaned, revealing only minor marks consistent with its age and honest use.
A graceful union of material and form, this piece stands as both a collectible design artifact and a timeless symbol of Saarinen’s vision to bring unity and calm to the modern interior.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
