A Florentine style Pietre Dure Inlaid Table

  • Stock ID: 15716
  • Reference No: RK

A large and fine Pietre-Dure inlaid marble table, the centre of the top with a 'Rosone' pattern, and decorated with repeating Florentine Renaissance style patterns, including scrolls of stylised foliate motifs and a formal, framing border. The artisan who created this top made these intricate patterns using hand-cut pieces of exotic marble and of semi-precious stones which were inserted piece by piece into hollows made in the solid black marble slab.

Standing on a very sturdy forged solid iron base decorated with scrolled legs.

Pietre Dure is a 15th century Florentine Renaissance technique, where a marble slab is very precisely chiselled away to accommodate each shaped inlay. Typically, several inlaid parts will be required in order to form each single motif and pattern.
