AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grande Alzata Centrotavola Art Déco in Marmo Portoro – Eleganza Scultorea Italiana
Magnificent and important centerpiece pedestal in precious Portoro marble, refined Italian production dating to the Art Deco period, traceable to the 1920s–1940s of the twentieth century. The work immediately strikes with the purity of its lines and the extraordinary quality of the stone used.
Carved from solid marble carefully turned and polished, it presents an extremely balanced form composed of a wide circular cup supported by an elegant central contoured foot. The simple, geometric design perfectly recalls the Art Deco taste, a movement that favored clean shapes, harmonious volumes, and noble materials.
Portoro marble, among the most prestigious Italian marbles, is characterized by an intense glossy black background crossed by spectacular veins of copper, bronze, and gold, enhanced by thin whitish filaments that create a natural decorative effect of great charm. Each side of the centerpiece offers different shades, making the piece unique and unrepeatable.
The workmanship highlights an excellent surface finish with mirror polishing that enhances depth and color of the stone. Thanks to its substantial dimensions and the considerable weight of about 3.3 kg, the object has a remarkable visual presence and a strong decorative value.
Our interior designer architect recommends: this centerpiece works magnificently as a centerpiece in Art Deco, modernist, contemporary, or eclectic interiors. It can be used to accent a console, a dining table, a sideboard, or an important bookshelf. The deep black color and coppery veining dialog perfectly with brass, bronze, dark woods, and internationally styled furnishings.
Condition: very good. Normal light surface signs consistent with age and use, with no structural compromises. The original polish remains particularly bright and fully enhances the beauty of the marble.

height 16 cm
base diameter 10 cm
