This very fine Italian NeoClassical 19th Century Pietra Dura inlaid Occasional table is a stunning example of artistic craftsmanship.
The circular top features intricate Pietra Dura inlay work depicting a bouquet of flowers, including roses, with hovering birds above them.
This beautiful inlay utilises various semi-precious stones, such as malachite and lapis lazuli, creating a vivid and detailed scene.
The table is raised on a gilt acanthus leaf and scroll leg base, which adds to its elegant and classical appearance.
The combination of the detailed inlaid top and the ornate gilt base makes this table a remarkable piece that showcases the exquisite artistry of the 19th century.
