Description
This highly unusual coffee table is set with an exceptionally beautiful pietra dura top. The pietra dura panelled top has been expertly crafted from a variety of striking and brightly coloured semi-precious stones (including malachite and lapis lazuli), all set into black marble, to create a wondrous vision of nature, with a bird sat on a flowering branch with three butterflies shown fluttering nearby. The pietra dura top is set into a hardwood surround, all supported on a table base with four legs and stretcher.
Pietra dura, or pietra dure, is the highly skilled artform in which patterns or pictures are formed through the inlay of semi-precious stones. It is similar to mosaic work and was typically used in antiquity to produce table tops and decorative panels. -
