Italian Fossilized Marble and Mirrored Cocktail Table, circa 1950
About the Item
An exceptional Italian modernist fossilized marble cocktail table. The large polished marble top containing embedded ammonite and orthoceras fossils dating back to the Pre-historic era. The quantity and coloration of the fossils in this marble is spectacular, with beautiful variations of warm grey and brown, generously embedded with cream colored fossils. This stunning top is supported on a base with mirrored apron and squared legs, segmented with walnut. The combination of the fossilized stone, mirrored glass and wood creates a stunning contrast and further highlights the beauty of each of these elements. This is a highly unique and rare artisan hand-made piece, likely commissioned for a private residence.

- Gae Aulenti for Knoll 'Jumbo' Carrara Marble Coffee Table, Italy, circa 1964By Knoll, Gae AulentiLocated in New York, NYThe 'Jumbo' Carrara marble coffee table by the famed female Italian architect Gae Aulenti, (Italy, 1927-2012) made for Knoll. Literature: Gramigna, Giuliana. Repertorio Dell'Arredo Domestico 1950-2000 Allemandi: Torino, 2003, p. 111. Size: 14 1/2" high x 44 3/4" square just table top x 67" square total The iconic design constitutes a spectacular and grand square slab of Carrara marble with a total of six pieces including the sculpted and canted corner legs; It is one of the first tables where marble, a material removed for years from the world of furniture, makes its reappearance where the material in itself has a striking and expressive aesthetic and not used as a decorative element but used constructively according to its technological characteristics. One of Aulenti's most significant designs, an impressive and grand, yet minimalist and bold addition to any home interior. Gae Aulenti (born December 4, 1927, Palazzolo dello Stella, Italy–died December 31, 2012, Milan, Italy). Gae (or Gai) Aulenti was a prominent postwar Italian designer and architect who lent her fluid approach to media and material to some of the most important architectural and interior designs of the late 20th century. Aulenti attended Politecnico di Milano in the mid 1950's and established her design practice in the same city shortly after graduation. She rose to prominence while serving as the art director for Casabella, a leading avant-garde architectural journal of the era. It was during these early years that Aulenti’s unique design philosophy emerged, one that centered on the ultimate freedom of the designer from the limitations of practice to a singular medium. Rather than selecting one style and imposing it upon a space, Gae Aulenti believed instead that the space and its inhabitants should inform the design around them. What resulted was a body of work that spanned all realms. From smaller furnishings...Category
