The oval top is carved from warm-toned onyx, its surface alive with layered hues of amber, rust, and honey, finished with a pronounced ogee edge that softens the stone’s profile. The onyx rests on slender brass legs with gently flared silhouettes, their warm patina echoing the golden tones within the stone. Blackened metal stretchers span the base, reinforcing the structure. The interplay of polished stone, brass, and darkened metal captures the expressive spirit of mid-century Italian design—decorative, disciplined, and grounded. Condition: Great vintage condition overall. One small chip to the onyx surface, along with minor scratches and light scuffing consistent with age and use. The brass base shows gentle wear and patina throughout. The onyx top is not affixed to the base. Due to the weight of the top, the table does move slightly when assembled. See less
