Coffee table - Wood, Marble

Italian carved and gilt wooden coffee table with fossiliferous marble - c. 1930.

Elegant rectangular coffee table inspired by Louis XVI, crafted in carved, pierced and gilt wood, featuring an elaborate waist decorated with symmetrical volutes, vegetal scrolls, acanthus leaves and a lower frieze of stylized leaves.

The corners are marked by square insets with carved floral motifs. It rests on four straight, turned and fluted legs, with acanthus leaf capitals and lower terminals in the shape of a button or stylized pinecone.

Thick and removable top in fossiliferous pink marble, possibly Rosso Verona or Ammonitico Rosso, with numerous circular fossil traces in cream and beige tones. It presents a projecting, molded and polished edge.

The interior construction, with the top removed, reveals a solid rectangular frame prepared to support the heavy stone slab.
