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.
This compact rectangular travertine coffee table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s, is defined by the exceptional thickness of its top — 8 cm of solid travertine, significantly more substantial than the 2–3 cm standard of most pieces of this period. That thickness is not incidental — it is the formal decision that gives the table its character, transforming what could be a modest side piece into an object of geological authority.
The rectangular top — 60 × 40 cm — rests on monolithic slab legs at a height of 30 cm, creating a low and grounded stance that emphasises the horizontal mass of the stone. The combination of compact footprint and exceptional top thickness produces an object that is dense and present without demanding space — a table that asserts itself through material weight rather than through scale.
The travertine displays subtle tonal variations and natural veining — a quiet surface that deepens with proximity and rewards the close attention that a piece of this density invites.
A formally resolved and materially exceptional example of Italian postwar stone design — small in dimension, significant in presence.
Year: 1970s Origin: Italy Material: Solid travertine — natural tonal variations Measurements: 60 × 40 × 30 cm · Top thickness 8 cm Condition: Very good for age — natural variations in stone consistent with the material
