Hello, does anyone have an image of how the Eero Saarinen Marble Oval Tulip Dining Table connects to the base? I'm looking to buy one that is unlabeled and want to avoid a reproduction. This one has four silver screws for the attachment (see image below). Thank you for the help.

I found a photo of a signed one that has four silver-colored bolts, but more importantly--are there any genuine Saarinen tables with polished metal bases? I don't know for sure but I think not...?

Thank you for the photo spanky. The base is actually black. Much appreciated

Here is a link to the underside of a genuine Knoll Saarinen table. I believe all genuine ones will have the Knoll signature on the base and a Knoll sticker on the underside of the marble. I know this image is for an outdoor version but the indoor ones are the same. It certainly looks as if the one you picture is a copy.

JonB: You're right; the table in question is a reproduction. But you can't always judge authemticity by the presence of stickers or stamps; genuine vintage tables often have neither.
