A magnificent Italian marble table dating from around 1890, featuring an exceptional inlay top made with various precious marbles and lapis lazuli. The circular tabletop is richly decorated with intricate marine motifs — seashells, coral branches, and sea flora — crafted using polychrome stones in the traditional pietra dura technique. The vivid blue background of natural lapis lazuli creates a striking contrast with the warm tones of the coral and shell details. Supported by a finely carved solid wood base with baluster legs, this piece exemplifies the refined artistry of late 19th-century Italian decorative furniture. A true collector’s piece, ideal as a centre table or decorative art object. This exquisite Italian pietra dura table showcases the highest level of craftsmanship typical of late 19th-century workshops in Florence and Rome. The circular top is composed of fine-cut pieces of lapis lazuli, alabaster, jasper, and agate, forming a delicate marine composition of shells, corals, and sea creatures. The marquetry is perfectly polished, showing vibrant colours and excellent preservation of detail. The base is made of solid carved walnut, elaborately turned and ornamented with acanthus motifs, providing both strength and elegance. A museum-quality decorative table, reflecting the golden age of Italian stone inlay artistry.
