EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning Florentine pietra dura table top from the late seventeenth century. The intricate design features an array of various marbles and lapis lazuli, meticulously inlaid to create a mesmerizing display of color and pattern. At the center of the table top, a vibrant arrangement of fruit takes center stage, exuding abundance and richness. Crafted by the Grand Ducal workshop around 1670, this masterpiece measures 124x77cm with a height of 82.5cm. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the floral motifs to the animal figures that adorn its surface. A majestic parrot perched on one side adds an element of whimsy to this already enchanting piece. The use of semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli elevates this work into something truly extraordinary. Each stone has been carefully chosen for its unique color and texture, resulting in a harmonious composition that captivates the viewer's gaze. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the artistry behind pietra dura craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to both historical decorative techniques and natural history itself. With no people present in the image, it allows us to focus solely on appreciating this exquisite example of Italian artistry from centuries past. Photo credit: Bridgeman Images via eChristies Images
