About the Item

This fine pair of 19th century occasional tables exhibit an exceptional example of the marble Pietra Dura technique. Developed in 16th century Florence, this highly skilled form of inlay uses pieces of cut marble, which are placed seamlessly together to create images. Each tabletop depicts a delicate bird perched on a branch. When placed side by side, the pair can be seen to create a narrative: One bird calls to his mate from a leafy branch; she sits surrounded by feminine floral imagery and turns her neck towards the male in response to his call. Standing on their wooden bases, these occasional tables make an impressive addition to any space.
