Pair of Pietra Dura Topped Circular Occasional Tables
About the Item
This fine pair of 19th century occasional tables exhibit an exceptional example of the marble Pietra Dura technique. Developed in 16th century Florence, this highly skilled form of inlay uses pieces of cut marble, which are placed seamlessly together to create images. Each tabletop depicts a delicate bird perched on a branch. When placed side by side, the pair can be seen to create a narrative: One bird calls to his mate from a leafy branch; she sits surrounded by feminine floral imagery and turns her neck towards the male in response to his call. Standing on their wooden bases, these occasional tables make an impressive addition to any space.

- Antique carved hardwood circular side table with rosewood top, MyanmarLocated in London, GBThis heavily-carved circular side table was crafted in the 19th Century in Burma (modern-day Myanmar).
