About the Item

A remarkable pair of late 19th century Ashford marble Pietra Dura console tables, each set upon a contemporary iron base that subtly enhances the visual impact of the marble tops. The surfaces are crafted from Ashford Black Marble, a dark limestone quarried near Ashford-in-the-Water, Derbyshire, prized for its fine grain, deep polished sheen, and highly decorative qualities. Each table features exquisite Pietra Dura inlay, showcasing intricate floral and geometric motifs executed with exceptional precision and artistry, reflecting the craftsmanship of the period. Though Ashford Black Marble was typically reserved for smaller decorative objects, these substantial console tables are a rare and impressive example of its use on a grand scale. Preserved in excellent antique condition, they offer a striking combination of historic elegance, technical mastery, and enduring decorative appeal—perfect for a refined interior seeking both statement and sophistication.
