An Italian marble and pietre dure inlaid ebonised and parcel-gilt centre table, Florentine last quarter 19th century

the rectangular top inset with a geometric marble panel inlaid with marbles including verde antico, lumachella africano, alabaster, Egyptian porphyry, Sicilian jasper, brèche d'alep, Sienna marble and belgian black marble above a similarly inlaid frieze with square tapering legs joined by a shaped stretcher on toupie feet

In overall good restored condition. Old minor marks, chips and scratches commensurate with age and normal usage. Some old restorations to the marble with some minor ares of infill which have been well executed and not too noticable. The table is unstable and would benefit from some of the joints tightening up. There are some old minor restorations to the ebonised surround and minor chips. There is a crack in some of the feet which will need filling. One of the other corners has been rebuilt before and the inlays actually don't sit completely flat. There is a glass liner in between the stone liner and the bed which the inlays sit on.
