Early 20th Century Bromann Bros. Butcher Shop Counter

c. 1900s - 1910s; Bromann Bros. - Chicago Antique butcher shop prep and presentation counter. Many butcher shop counters were designed with dual purposes in mind as they often worked as both a prep surface and presentation area. As such, an eye-catching look was required, which led to the addition of a marble top. Marble was chosen for both its durability and ease of cleaning, as it (despite being a porous stone) has antibacterial properties. This piece features small pyrite inclusions within the marble and a wooden frame constructed of quartersawn oak; it sits on turned legs that end in tapered feet. Despite its antibacterial properties, the porous nature of marble allows stains to set in easier, as they have on this counter; there is some slight yellowing on the left (as shot) side. 79" W x 24" D x 32.5" H Please refer to photos regarding condition.
