Description from the seller
Some home objects fill a space; others give it character. This sculptural centerpiece tabletop belongs to the second category. Made from a single solid piece of banded calcite onyx, with a beautiful natural pattern in cream, gray, beige and honey-toned nuances.
The smoothly polished bowl contrasts beautifully with the organically finished outer surface and gives the piece a pronounced Mid-Century Modern / Organic Modern character, with a subtle Brutalist vibe.
Due to its generous size, it is especially suitable as a centerpiece on a coffee table, dining table, console, or sideboard. Also usable as a large catch-all for small accessories. For the best presentation, the piece is best displayed with the bowl largely free of contents.
Specifications:
Material: calcite onyx / onyx marble.
Origin: probably Italy / Southern Europe.
Dating: ca. 1965–1975.
Length: ca. 27 cm.
Width: ca. 16 cm.
Weight: ca. 1,790 grams.
Pairs beautifully in Organic Modern, Mid-Century, Brutalist and classic luxury interiors, especially in combination with travertine, marble, dark wood and calm earthy tones.
Condition: The object is in excellent vintage condition. The natural veins, crystalline zones and small irregularities are part of the rock and underscore the unique character of this piece.
Will be carefully packaged and shipped with track & trace within 3 days after payment.
