About the Item

A handsome Continental 19th century neo-classical st. mahogany, ebonized fruitwood, ormolu and porphyry coffee table. The table is raised on four square feet below a mahogany bottom tier with concave sides and four ebonized fruitwood columns with richly chased ormolu capital and plinths. Above rests the original sensational circular porphyry top. Porphyry was Imperial Rome’s most prestigious stone for columns, vases, and other objects. The word “porphyry” comes from the Latin word for purple, which was the color of nobility to the Romans. Porphyry is considered the Imperial Stone of the Roman Empire. In the year 18 AD, the Roman Legionaire Caius Cominius discovered a beautiful purple stone in the eastern desert of Egypt. It was a deep purple color with flecks of larger white crystals and was perfect for carving. This porphyry quickly became the most prestigious stone for the elite of Rome and Byzantium. For centuries the Romans quarried this treasured stone at Mons Porphyrites Porphyry Mountain.
