Marble Dining Tables: Round and Rectangular Tables with Marble Tops
A marble dining table gives any dining room a sense of calm and permanence. The stone feels cool and smooth, and its veining makes every table unique. Whether for family meals, dinner parties or a restaurant, a marble table is an investment for many years.
In our dining tables range, Barockgrosshandel offers a small, carefully chosen selection of marble dining tables. Sizes run from a 142 cm round table to a 300 cm banquet table, with prices from around €4,600 to €16,000. We supply retailers, hotels, restaurants, interior designers and private clients.
Round and rectangular marble tables from 120 to 300 cm
Round dining tables encourage conversation, because every guest can see the others. A 120 cm round table seats four, while 140 to 150 cm seats six in comfort. A central pedestal leaves plenty of legroom. In square rooms and bay windows, a round marble table is often the most graceful solution.
Rectangular tables make better use of long rooms. Allow about 60 cm of table edge per person. A 200 cm table therefore seats six to eight, and 240 to 250 cm seats eight to ten. A 300 cm table welcomes ten to twelve guests and suits large dining rooms, boardrooms or private dining spaces.
Natural marble, faux marble and surface finishes
Natural marble is sawn from the block, ground and polished. Black marble with fine white veining looks elegant and graphic, while white or cream stone feels light and classic. Red veined and violet patterned slabs make a bold statement. A hand finished edge shows the quality of the workmanship. Since every block grows differently, the pattern will always differ slightly from the photo.
Faux marble is cast from stone powder and a binder. It looks more uniform, is usually lighter and is often less sensitive to acids, which can help in restaurants. Each product description states which material is used. Polished tops shine, while matt finishes are more forgiving of everyday marks.
Bases: pedestals, sledges and trestles
The base must carry the weight of the top safely and look good doing so. Round tables usually stand on a substantial central pedestal. Long tables rest on two columns, on panel trestles or on a four legged frame. Metal bases in brass, bronze or antique silver add refined accents.
Aluminium combines strength with low weight. Carved wooden bases in black or gold give a classic note, as on our round baroque style model. For more historic shapes, see our baroque dining tables. Whatever you choose, make sure the top sits evenly on the base and the table does not rock.
Weight, floor loads and installation
Marble weighs around 2.7 tonnes per cubic metre. A 200 x 90 cm top weighs about 97 kg at 2 cm thick and around 145 kg at 3 cm. A 300 cm table with its base can easily put more than 200 kg on the floor.
Modern concrete floors carry such loads without difficulty. In older buildings with timber joists, have the load capacity checked first and place the table across the joists where possible. Delivery is kerbside. Plan enough helpers, lifting straps and a clear route through doors and stairwells. Felt pads protect parquet and tiles, as moving the table later takes real effort.
Choosing chairs and planning the dining room
Most marble dining tables stand 76 to 80 cm high. Chairs with a seat height of 45 to 48 cm suit them best. Armrests should slide under the table edge. Behind each chair, allow 80 to 100 cm so guests can rise and pass comfortably.
Upholstered velvet chairs soften the cool formality of stone and absorb sound. Colours from the veining, such as grey, burgundy or green, can be picked up in the fabric. Our collection of velvet sofas and velvet chairs offers ideas. On the table itself, brass or bronze pieces from our candle holders and candelabras create a festive setting.
Everyday care for a marble table
At the dining table, marble works harder than in the living room. Wine, vinegar, citrus and tomato sauce are acidic and leave dull marks. Oil and fat can soak into the pores. Placemats, coasters and good sealing protect the top reliably.
Wipe the table with a damp cloth after every meal and dry it. Clean with a pH neutral stone cleaner, never with vinegar based products or scouring powders. Refresh the sealer once or twice a year, depending on use. Hot pans always belong on a trivet.
Marble tables for restaurants and hotels
In restaurants, hotel dining rooms and banqueting halls, a marble table stands for refined hospitality. Our luxury dining tables include models suited to contract use. For hospitality we recommend sealed, rather matt tops and sturdy metal bases. Round tables fit alcoves and window seats, long tables suit groups and events.
In the lounge, continue the material with pieces from our marble coffee tables. This creates a consistent look from reception to dining room. Our full range of baroque and luxury furniture is on our home page.

Frequently asked questions
How many people fit around a marble dining table?
Allow about 60 cm of table edge per person. A 200 cm table seats six to eight, and a 250 cm table eight to ten. A round table of around 140 cm seats six.
How heavy is a dining table with a marble top?
A 200 x 90 cm top weighs about 97 kg at 2 cm thick and around 145 kg at 3 cm. The base comes on top of that. Large banquet tables easily exceed 200 kg.
Is a marble dining table delicate?
Marble is hard but sensitive to acids and porous. Wine, vinegar and lemon can leave dull marks, and oil can stain. With placemats, quick wiping and regular sealing, a marble table copes well with everyday life.
How often should a marble top be sealed?
On a dining table, once or twice a year is sensible. A simple test shows when: if a drop of water still beads after a few minutes, the protection works. If it soaks in and darkens the stone, it is time to reseal.
Which chairs go with a marble table?
Upholstered chairs with a seat height of 45 to 48 cm work well, for instance in velvet or leather. They bring warmth to the cool stone. Metal details look coherent when they echo the finish of the table base.
Round or rectangular: which marble table suits my room?
A round table suits square rooms and eases circulation. A rectangular table makes better use of long, narrow rooms and offers more seats. In both cases, plan about one metre of free space around the table.
Can a marble dining table be used in a restaurant?
Yes, some models are designed specifically for hotels and restaurants. Good sealing, a rather matt finish and consistent use of placemats are key. Faux marble is a lower maintenance alternative in busy settings.
How is a marble dining table delivered?
Delivery is kerbside. Because of the weight, plan several strong helpers for carrying it indoors and assembling it. Always carry the top on its edge, never flat.
