Monumental Tessellated Marble Clam Shell with Giant Pearl as Coffee Table Base

About the Item

Incredible monumental tessellated marble clam shell with a giant pearl in its center used as a coffee table base with a 48-inch glass top with ogee edge. It is in wonderful vintage condition. It does have a small place where it has been restored around its base, but you must look closely to tell. Please see photos, circa late 20th century. “She sells seashells down by the seashore!” I wonder if she ever had one this large!? We found this fabulous monumental tessellated marble clam shell sculpture or centerpiece and thought it cried out to become a coffee table…so we added the glass. Of course, you could use it either way and we would be happy to ship it without the glass if you so desire. It is comprised of an extremely large clam shell shape which is covered in tessellated marble in a peachy, cream, rose combination of colors that is so yummy. It is then highlighted with a pearlized aqua turquoise accent band with a little gold thrown in. The center features a giant opalescent gray pearl which is fixed in place. It is absolutely stunning! We are completely enthralled by its unique style and beauty and know you will be as well. You need to make this lovely functional piece of art yours!

  • Art Deco Revival Tessellated Marble Console Table & Mirror Style Maitland Smith
    By Maitland Smith
    Located in Topeka, KS
    Gorgeous Art Deco Revival tessellated marble with brass inlay accent strips, low console table and mirror, or it could be a coffee table and separate mirror, in the style of Maitland Smith. Excellent vintage condition. There is a tiny chip on the underside of one foot that has been repaired. There are several repairs to the marble that was done nicely and looks like age-appropriate patina. These are vintage, not new, so will have signs of use. Please see photos. Circa 1980-1990’s. Dramatic, bold, unique, and extraordinary…just a few words we can think of to describe this impressive set of bench/table and mirror. Their style is a gorgeous art deco revival but can have a little Hollywood Regency flair. They are comprised of tessellated marble in a creamy off-white with jet black detail. The highlights of this table or bench are its incredible scrolled legs, which are reminiscent of an Ionic Roman column, and the marble tessellation in the shape of banana palm fronds. It is nothing short of spectacular. And then you are presented with its matching incredible wall mirror which is framed by the same creamy off-white and black tessellated marble banana palm fronds that surrounding the mirror glass…. GORGEOUS!!!!! Making the pair simply breathtaking! Although unmarked, this set is like designs by Maitland Smith or Oggetti Designs; however, our research has not revealed the exact piece, but it is made with the same high quality and attention to detail. Plus, its versatility is awesome. There are so many ways to utilize this amazing set…you could use it as a low table and dress it with a large floral arrangement maybe a sculpture or it would be a fabulous bench with a couple of throw pillows against a wall, and the mirror hanging above. Of course, they do not have to stay together. Split them up and use the table/bench as your coffee table then hang the mirror in the hall. This pair is also perfect for a fitting room in a boutique or a dressing bench...
