Italian Grand Tour marble specimen center table with cantilever base

About the Item

A rare and exceptional center table with an Italian Grand Tour, Pietra Dura Specimen Marble Top, c.1800’s. A masterpiece of exotic specimen marble arranged in a geometric mosaic pattern – a wonderful collector piece reflecting Italy’s refinement, artistic curiosity and craftmanship. "Pietra Dura" (marble-inlay technique) originated in Italy during the Renaissance Florence period between 1660-1840; it became an international symbol of wealth and good taste - a hand crafted souvenir, work of art for Grand Tourists to display in their homes and demonstrate their wealth and refined taste. Centuries later, these revered pieces are more select and harder to find. Equally impressive, a solid brass and bronze-toned metal cantilever base with modern angular lines. Strong and heavy-duty, crafted from solid hand-forged steel. The angular base supporting heavy marble is an impressive testimonial to its strength and design integrity. It’s a piece of history, both modern and old world. As a Curator and Interior Designer, these are the unique design qualities I seek – knowing it will transcend time, always in style, never trendy. We know it’s hard to find one-of-a-kind pieces! Shop our listings for new inventory curated from an Interior Architect and Designer’s POV.
