About the Item

Inspired by Italian models from the 16th and 17th centuries. The technique, similar to the inlay in wood, uses colored marbles and hard stones on a background. All of these materials were exceptionally expensive, especially since they often had to be imported. In addition, for the realization of furniture, vases ... with this technique was indispensable a highly specialized staff. The "work of hard stones" arose in Florence: Piero de Medici and Lorenzo the Magnificent wanted to revitalize a technique of the Roman mosaic (opus sectile) with the pertinent variations of thematic and technique. Such success was this novelty that emerged creative centers throughout Europe, including the Gobelins Factory in France, the Royal Workshop in Naples and the one that established Carlos III in the Royal Site of El Buen Retiro in Madrid. Although they began with an extraordinary decorative variety, from 1600 the fashion decided to the naturalistic motives, to which were added butterflies, pearls ... with the passage of time. The present example shows a great influence of this tradition, as much in technique as in aesthetics, as the flowers of lis, in clear allusion to Gobelinos, demonstrate. Compare some of the few works that have come to us: the Neapolitan table of the Museo del Prado in Madrid by Francesco Ghinghi (catalog number O00511), the tables and tables of the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence, or the board of the late XVI Or principles of the Roman XVII (inventory 62,259) of the Metropolitan Museum of New York. Size: 150 x 150 cms. Height is orientative.

Circular "Pietra Dura" Tabletop, Marble and Hardstones

Located in Madrid, ES

Circular tabletop in marbles and hard stones. Inspired by Italian models of the XVI-XVII centuries. In the centre of the board, surrounded by a garland of flowers, has been placed a pearl necklace with a bow. Around this element, four vases with birds perched on interspersed branches and, more towards the outside, a band with vegetal scrolls are presented. They frame this area with simplified scrolls and one with others more worked and interspersed with avenerated forms and heraldic shields, and posed birds. The fleur-de-lis on the edge clearly shows the influence of Gobelino's works on this board. The French workshop was created with the aim of making this type of inlay for the court of this country, and is the heir of the native centre of the "hard stone work": the Florence of Piero de Medici and Lorenzo the Magnificent, who wanted to revive a Roman technique called mosaic "opus sectile". It is also necessary to mention the Royal Workshop of Naples and the one created by Carlos III in the Real Sitio of El Buen Retiro in Madrid, which closed at the beginning of the 19th century. After 1600 the primacy of decoration that appeared in the fifteenth century is clear, and elements such as birds, butterflies and pearl necklaces were added over time. The present example inherits all this tradition: compare with the table realized by Francesco Ghinghi in the Real Laboratory Delle Piedre Dure of Naples (number of catalog O00511) and the board (O00466) of towards half-full of century XVIII, both in the Museum of the Prado from Madrid, those preserved in the Museo Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence (especially works such as the panel made as a model for a table by Jacopo LIgozzi...
