Object accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This coffee table, for the center of a room, was made in Italy, using antique materials, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The top, from the early eighteenth century, is veneered with precious and rare African marble on a base of peperino stone. The underlying structure consists of four legs in carved and gilded wood with plant-motif decorations in the Louis XIV style. The legs are connected by richly carved crosspieces that converge in the center, where there is a vase adorned with a floral still life. The very decorative table is easily placed in any environment, such as a living room, a study, or an entrance hall, perfect in the center of the room, next to two sofas, or close to a wall. The marble top is very durable and allows for daily use of the table. In good condition, there are some small missing pieces in the veneered part of the top.
