Antique fruitboard/centrepiece tray in polychrome marbles, Italy, dating from 1850–1900, measuring about 27.5 x 28 x 4.5 cm and weighing 6 kg, with a radial rosette design in commesso lapideo and four bronze feet.
Description from the seller
Piano in marmi policromi intarsiati – composizione a rosone
Extraordinary decorative element in polychrome marbles, crafted with refined stone inlay technique, characterized by a scenographic central rosette composition. The radial design, built with marble tiles of different colors and veining, creates a dynamic and vibrant effect, typical of classical taste and Grand Tour craftsmanship.
The surface features a selection of materials with a strong visual impact: deep greens, warm yellows, intense reds, breccias and natural veining that dialogue with each other in a carefully balanced chromatic harmony. The dark marbleized background enhances the central motif, while the perimeter frame in red marble provides solidity and prestige to the whole.
The top is supported by four bronze feet with natural patina of time, a sign of authenticity and coherent with the age of the object, making it usable both as an elegant center-table tray and as a decorative furnishing element, also perfect as a base for objects or small sculptures. The cutting and inlaying of the tiles highlight artisanal workmanship of high quality, with carefully studied pairings to enhance the natural veining of the stone.
Dimensions (approx. 27.5 x 28 x 4.5 cm) weight 6 kg! make it a substantial object yet easy to place, capable of enriching any setting, from classic to contemporary.
Very good condition: there are light signs of time and small traces of wear on the surface and edges, perfectly consistent with the nature and age of the object, which do not compromise its aesthetics but attest to authenticity and history.
A piece with strong decorative impact, ideal for collectors and lovers of hard stone furnishings and Italian traditional artistic inlay works.
