IMPRESSIVE CHESS TABLE WITH PRECIOUS ROMAN MOSAIC ON CARVED LEGS. ITALY. 19TH CENTURY
An impressive chess table, crafted in 19th-century Italy, represents an exceptional example of decorative art with a vivid allegory of eternity, embodied both in the chess game and in the eternal city of Rome.The round tabletop, executed in the pietra dura technique (semi-precious stone inlay), is a unique panel combining a chessboard of alternating squares made of jasper, malachite, agate, lapis lazuli, and onyx, framed with micromosaic tondi depicting Roman landmarks: the Colosseum, the Pantheon, St. Peters Square, and the Roman Forum.The colorful mosaic of stones is complemented by architectural micromosaic miniatures—true masterpieces of lapidary art.The table stands on four richly carved Neo-Renaissance legs, each adorned with mascarons in the form of classical busts, spiral acanthus elements, and cross-bracing.Marks: none or not specifiedDimensions: Height – 66 cm; Top diameter – 62 cmCondition: Excellent condition, minimal signs of wearOrigin: Italy, 19th century
