TÍTULO DE LA FICHA: Italian Portoro Marble Square Coffee Table — Slab Legs, 1970s
DESCRIPCIÓN:
This square coffee table from the 1970s is executed in Portoro marble — one of Italy's rarest and most prestigious stones, quarried in the Ligurian coast and prized since antiquity for its deep black surface traversed by bold white and golden veining of exceptional intensity.
The table's geometry is deliberately austere — a pure 70 × 70 cm square top on architectural slab legs, 2 cm thick. That formal restraint is not timidity but intelligence: Portoro is a stone that demands space to speak. The minimal geometry of the table gives the marble exactly that space — a surface on which the black ground and the gold and white veins can perform without competition from the form that carries them.
The slab legs introduce a vertical plane of the same stone beneath the horizontal top — creating a continuous geological composition from base to surface, where the veining reads as a single geological event interrupted only by the edge of the table.
At 70 × 70 × 43 cm the table is compact enough to work in any space while carrying a visual authority that no larger piece in lighter stone can match. Portoro commands a room not through scale but through presence — and this table is no exception.
Among the rarest materials in the VV Interior Home collection — a stone that has defined luxury interiors since the Renaissance and continues to define them today.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid Portoro marble — black with white and golden veining Measurements: 70 × 70 × 43 cm · Top thickness 2 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material

These are antique pieces and are sold as such. Although VV does its best to highlight major flaws, minor imperfections should be expected reflecting the age and previous use of the piece.
