Description
Carved from a single block of pristine white marble, the vessel has been meticulously hand-chiseled to create a continuous "scalloped" edge that mimics the gentle ripples of a seashell or the pleats of heavy silk. What makes this marble bowl extraordinary is the softness of the stone and the sculptural form. The marble features a matte, honed finish (velvet to the touch, rather than shiny), which absorbs light and allows the deep fluting to create dramatic, shifting shadows throughout the day.
At 15" dm, it is a substantial, grounding object that bridges the gap between classical Mughal architecture and contemporary organic modern design. In your entryway this marble bowl is a luxurious catch-all for keys, creating a moment of calm organization the moment you walk through the door or pile it high with bright yellow lemons or artichokes; the contrast against the white stone is stunning.
