This is not the marble top table of the old days. Those tables had a round wooden frame below, and different legs.
My parents had one of those tables, and the old accompanying chairs (not plastic)

The marble table can be used for making roti-prata.

Yes those are collectible classics these days. Will give dining room a nostalgic vibe. Carousell got people selling.
