Pietra Dura inlay Italian coffee table
Italian, 19th century
Measures: Height 59cm, width 83cm, depth 63cm
This highly unusual coffee table is set with an exceptionally beautiful Pietra Dura top. The Pietra Dura panelled top has been expertly crafted from a variety of striking and brightly coloured semi-precious stones (including malachite and lapis lazuli), all set into black marble, to create a wondrous vision of nature, with a bird sat on a flowering branch with three butterflies shown fluttering nearby. The Pietra Dura top is set into a hardwood surround, all supported on a table base with four legs and stretcher.
Pietra Dura, or pietra dure, is the highly skilled artform in which patterns or pictures are formed through the inlay of semi-precious stones. It is similar to mosaic work and was typically used in antiquity to produce table tops and decorative panels.
