Verdini Antiques
Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in colored marbles "pebble" samples 200 ca. Diameter 91.2 cm = 3 Roman feet Thickness 5.2 cm = 2 Roman inches The round top in colored marble that we are dealing with, is a real "pebble" sample made of ancient "excavation" marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.
