About the Item
Rectangular solid porphyry tray, broken angle, 68kg.
Porphyry is a purple stone with white flecks, renowned for its great hardness. It has been used in sculpture and architecture since Antiquity, in particular to make columns, pavements and coloured draperies in sculpture, because of its colour, which was associated with imperial prestige. Over the following centuries, porphyry lost its imperial symbolism but retained its image as a rare and precious material and was used purely for decorative purposes.
