PIETRA DURA TABLETOP. MARBLE AND HARDSTONES.

Octagonal table top decorated with hard stone work. Octagonal table top in dark stone decorated with “hard stone work” forming a series of stars in the central area and an elaborate band of flowers towards the outside, in an area separated from the center by two light lines. It has been made with a technique similar to inlay that uses marble and hard stones (more than 7 on the Mohs scale) to make these designs, which emerged in Italy in the Renaissance and was developed throughout Europe in only a few important factories.
