French Midcentury Carved Stone Dining Table

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 30” H x 65 ½” W x 45 ½” D

Fabulous vintage French dining table of circa 1970, carved from a unique block of Moroccan marble populated by the fossilized remains of a variety of marine life. Dagger-shaped belemnite fossils (dating to at least 65 million years old) are scattered in random arrangement across the oblong slab of stone that forms the table top, mixing with the traces of nautilus spirals and thin ribbons of burnt orange veins in the otherwise light-brown marble that has been polished to reveal all of the nuanced character. Balancing the top is a sculptural pedestal base in an hourglass silhouette, cleaved in the center to form a narrow void and flaring out at the floor in a rectangle for stability. The excitement of the fossilized inclusions makes this table a unique conversation piece for guests to admire while dining, that may also ground the room when used as a center table. Please view the detailed images to see more of this sculptural table.
