A pair of Italian rosso, verde antico and Spanish brocatello inlaid white marble pedestals late 17th/early 18th century

each with a shaped top inlaid with scrolling flowers and foliage on a black ground, on a breakfront pedestal carved with boldly scrolled acanthus inlaid with a Spanish brocatello geometric motif and inlaid with verde antico and rosso antico on a stepped base

Colour slightly darker overall and more attractive than in the catalogue photograph. The pedestals are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. Some minor marks, chips and scratches commensurate with age and usage. Old minor restorations to the front corners of the pedestals and some very minor restorations to the tops. Medium sized chip on the the top of the baluster section of one. One of the tops has an unidentified mark underneath and a photograph of the mark is available upon request. An unusual and attractive lot in overall good condition.
