A striking and architecturally scaled cocktail table featuring a richly figured breccia / conglomerate marble top raised on four sculptural Florentine-style lion supports, Italy, circa late 20th century.

The base is composed of four recumbent lions in cast stone, each rendered with stylized manes and powerful forepaws, referencing Renaissance Florentine models derived from ancient Roman prototypes. Traditionally symbols of strength, guardianship, and nobility, these lions lend the piece a commanding, heraldic presence while functioning as bold architectural supports.

The square top—measuring 42 inches—is executed in a dramatic breccia marble, characterized by its naturally fragmented structure and re-cemented mineral composition. Swirling tones of iron red, slate blue, celadon, and cream create a painterly, almost geological landscape across the surface, with areas of visible aggregate adding depth and visual complexity. The top appears to float above the base, enhancing the table’s sculptural quality.

With its generous 60-inch footprint across the lawn and ideal cocktail height, this table functions as a true centerpiece—equally suited to Palm Beach, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic modern interiors. A sculptural and highly decorative statement piece, ready to place and enjoy. Versatile in use, this table is well-suited for both interior settings and covered outdoor environments such as loggias, patios, or garden rooms.
