About the Item

Italian, circa 1960. (This would also make an incredible kitchen island - as the marble top). This exceptional Italian dining table combines the artistry of a scagliola marble specimen top with a Ming-style base, creating a luxurious statement piece that merges Italian craftsmanship with Eastern-inspired design. The tabletop showcases intricate scagliola work depicting opposing parrots in large central medallions and surrounded by butterflies, animals, other birds and insects that are labeled above each specimen. Scagliola a technique where colorful oil and acrylic paint imitate precious stones, forming a complex, vibrant pattern that captures the beauty of a natural specimen marble slab. The Ming-style base, crafted with refined proportions and curved supports, complements the ornate tabletop with a timeless elegance, lending a sense of stability and grace to this impressive piece. Scagliola, a decorative inlay technique originating in Italy, reached its height in the 17th century, allowing artisans to imitate fine marbles and semi-precious stones with remarkable realism. This table reflects both the Italian mastery of scagliola art and the influence of East Asian design aesthetics, making it a rare fusion of two distinguished decorative traditions. Measures: 39 1/4" d x 74" w x 29 1/4" h.
