About the Item

A sculptural object of tactile allure and visual intrigue, this Italian marble sphere dates to the 1980s and is meticulously carved from Breccia marble, prized for its dynamic veining and earthy, mineral-rich coloration. The surface is finely polished to a mirror-like sheen, revealing a palette of deep browns, rust, slate greys, and warm golden striations that shift and glow with the light. A striking decorative accent, it functions as a meditative object or an elegant paperweight—ideal for a curated console, bookcase, or desk. Both organic and architectural in its presence, this piece embodies the Italian postmodern design ethos where materiality and form are in harmonious dialogue.
