Large Tabletop Made Of Polychrome Scagliola, 2.40 X 1.30 Meters
Large tabletop made of polychrome scagliola — A graphic approach by Pietro Solari
Description: An extraordinary and monumental tabletop crafted from polychrome scagliola, attributable to the style and artistic approach of the master Pietro Solari (or his circle), who was active in Lombardy between the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
This refined artifact represents the pinnacle of artisanal virtuosity during the Baroque era, created to imitate and rival the costly inlays of semi-precious stones and precious marbles through the skillful use of selenite plaster, glue, and colored pigments.
- Decoration: The surface features a rigorous symmetrical and geometric layout, enlivened by rich acanthus scrolls, plant racemes, and flowering vines in vibrant colors that stand out against the dark background imitating black marble. The delicacy of the design fully reflects the aesthetic standards of the elite Lombard workshops.
- Dimensions: 2.40 x 1.30 meters — This is a large-scale piece, extremely rare and highly sought-after, originally designed for important ceremonial tables or noble salons.
- Condition: The tabletop has undergone a meticulous and expert conservation restoration that respected its historical integrity, restoring the piece to its former glory and fully highlighting its extraordinary original polychromy.

Depending on furnishing preferences, various dedicated designs are available (such as architectural bases in carved and gilded wood in the Baroque style, two-tone lacquered structures, or artistic wrought-iron solutions), with detailed examples provided through specific photographic documentation.
