Antique Italian Grand Neoclassical Roman Carrara Rosso Solid Marble Table
Located in Forney, TX
A rare and magnificent Italian Neoclassical Grand Tour Rosso & Carrera solid marble column table. Italy, 19th century, almost certainly Rome, exceptionally executed in timeless Greco-Roman classical taste, with nods to Holy Roman Empire church tabernacle stands and altar tables, a most impressive work, hand-crafted of the finest solid stones, having a bold and distinctive sculptural form, featuring a long thick rectangular white Carrara marble slab top with molded edge, inset with three highly polished Rosso Levanto marble panels, each showcasing deep reddish hues and striking interweaving glossy white veining, creating a strong yet harmonious contrast and stunning visual display; rising on chunky architectural turned column legs in iconic white Carrara marble with subtle light gray veining, terminating in square rosso levanto base block feet. Fine exhibition quality, almost certainly a custom made one of a kind work, that could have only been commissioned by someone with extraordinary means, such as aristocratic nobility, wealthy elite, important religious figure for a Catholic church, or perhaps it was exported to a foreign royal.
