About the Item

Very Fine & Rare Art Deco Early to Mid-20th Century French Marmo Africano & Faux bamboo brass coffee table. Constructed using only the finest stone, this truly exquisite & refined table is a masterpiece in design. The outstandingly beautiful colours in the solid top & detail throughout exhibits a spectacular flow around the whole table. The striking figuration and contrast is a delight to behold. The top sits on an supremely elegant chinoiserie Brass base exquisitely designed to represent Bamboo, which has exhibits an appealingly aged / oxidised patina. It is in good ‘’country house’’ condition for its age. The site of the ancient quarries of Marmo Africano were at Sigacik ( ancient Teos ) in Turkey, Large quantities of stone were extracted and used in ancient Rome and northern Africa in the first and second centuries AD. The palate of colours of Africano is very distinctive, with red and green fragments in a matrix which is often dark grey or black and with white veins. It is regarded as one of the ancient, rarest & most beautiful of stones. The example used within this superbly designed table is without question exceptional. A truly beautiful, rare and functional work of 20th Century art & design.
