Mid-Century Cocktail Table Eve with Snake in the Manner of Melchiorre Bega

About the Item

This stunning round coffee table from the late 1940s boasts a one-of-a-kind design. The solid cast tripod foot with a pillar made from maple wood in a rich brown color with black details leads up to the magnificent top. Crafted from alabaster, the top imitates vellum, giving it a unique off-white color and lined texture. At the center of the table is an exquisite depiction of Eve with the snake made from various types of marble and quartz. The top is elegantly framed by a brass rim that perfectly complements the base in terms of style. This coffee table is a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship that is sure to elevate any living space.
