Description from the seller
Large plate in fossil marble with ammonites – 25 cm
Extraordinary decorative plate in natural fossil marble, carved and polished, featuring an incredible presence of ammonites and marine fossils perfectly visible in the calcareous matrix. A piece with strong aesthetic impact, where nature and time have created an unrepeatable composition made of veins, fossil inclusions, and warm tones ranging from black to nutmeg, up to beige and amber.
The polished surface enhances the mineral structure and paleontological details, making each example unique. The large spiral ammonites and the numerous fossil inclusions give the object a nearly museum-like charm, perfect for refined interiors, professional studios, libraries, consoles, or environments with a classical yet contemporary taste.
Very elegant as a decorative centerpiece, display plate, or Wunderkammer element and natural history collection. The materiality and chromatic depth make it ideal next to bronzes, antique marbles, Grand Tour objects, and characterful furnishings.
Dimensions: diameter 25 cm, height 2 cm.
Very good condition as shown in the photographs. Shows light surface marks and natural veins/inclusions typical of fossil material, which attest to authenticity and uniqueness without compromising its strong decorative impact.
Photos are part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to industry professionals.
