Ashford Black Marble is the name given to a dark limestone, quarried from mines near Ashford-in-the-Water, in Derbyshire, England. Once cut, turned and polished, its shiny black surface is highly decorative. Ashford Black Marble is a very fine-grained sedimentary rock and is not a true marble in the geological sense. It can be cut and inlaid with other decorative stones and minerals, using a technique known as Pietra Dura. The mineral has been used decoratively since prehistoric times; the first recorded customer was the Elizabethan Countess, Bess of Hardwick...

19th Century Marble Architectural Model of a Temple
Located in Richmond, London
A superb quality mid- to late 19th century architectural model of a baroque arch or temple, in rouge griotte, giallo di Siena and Belgian black marble, with jasper columns and ormolu mounts.
Rouge Griotte was a popular marble of the 18th century, particularly among the royals who favoured this rich inimitable red for the fireplaces of their royal apartments. In fact, it is recorded that Louis XIV ordered many fireplaces to be made out of this red marble for the Versailles Palace in France.
Continental, circa 1860–80.
Why we like it
Exquisitely detailed throughout, this splendid object is superbly decorative and can be used to display a precious object too, such as the 17th century serpentine sphere.

Located in Richmond, London

France, mid- to late 19th century.
Exceptional quality, original decoration.
Why we like them
Beautiful objects like these have always been a favourite souvenir from the Grand Tour. Thanks to their ancient, timeless form, architectural but at the same time highly sculptural, these objects are perfectly suited for classical and modern interiors.
Originally called tekhenu by the Ancient Egyptians, obelisks played a vital role in the religion as well as in the architecture of the ancient Egypt, often found in pairs at the entrance of the temples. The word "obelisk" as used in English today is of Greek rather than Egyptian origin because Herodotus, the Greek traveller, was one of the first classical writers to use the term 'obeliskos' to describe them. In Egyptian mythology, the obelisk symbolized the sun god Ra, and was said to have been a petrified ray of the Aten, the sundisk. The pyramid and obelisk's significance have been previously overlooked, especially the astronomical phenomena connected with sunrise and sunset: Zodiacal light...
