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 calcified matrix. A object with strong aesthetic impact, where nature and time have created an unrepeatable composition of veins, fossil inclusions and warm tones ranging from black to hazelnut, up to beige and amber.
The polished surface highlights the mineral structure and palaeontological details, making each piece unique. The large spiral ammonites and the numerous fossil inclusions give the object a nearly museum-like charm, perfect for refined interiors, professional offices, bookcases, consoles, or environments with a classical and contemporary taste.
Very elegant as a decorative centerpiece, display plate, or Wunderkammer or naturalistic collection element. The material quality and chromatic depth make it ideal alongside bronzes, ancient marbles, Grand Tour objects and distinctive furnishings.
Dimensions: diameter 25 cm, height 2 cm.
Very good condition as shown in the photographs. Shows slight surface marks and natural veins/inclusions typical of fossil material, which attest to its authenticity and uniqueness without compromising its striking decorative impact.
The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packing entrusted to industry professionals.
