About the Item
An amazing Regency period gilt and ebonised centre table with a specimen marble and micro-mosaic top.
The wonderful top is built up out of a plethora of different marbles and stones all mosaiqüed together and banded by a border made of 44 different marble specimens, including samples of lapis lazuli, red and green porphyry, several types of onyx, jasper, breccia and many others.
In the centre of the top sits a micro-mosaic panel depicting in detail the ruins of the Roman forum bordered by a slate and malachite band.
The top sits on a wonderful anthemion decorated frieze on a fluted column and tripartite base decorated with a greek key finished on scroll feet.
The wonderful base still retains its original decoration.

The Arch of Septimius Severus is at the northwestern end of the Roman Forum is a white marble triumphal arch dedicated in 203 AD to commemorate the Parthian victories of Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, in the two campaigns against the Parthians of 194-195 and 197–199.
After the death of Septimius Severus, his sons Caracalla and Geta were initially joint Emperors. Caracalla and Geta were assassinated in Rome, in the practice now known as damnatio memoriae. Geta’s memorials were destroyed and all images or mentions of him were removed from street buildings and monuments. Accordingly, Geta’s image and inscriptions referring to him were removed from the arch.
