Russo levanto marble top: this is a precious variety of marble that has been quarried for many years, the Romans having used this marble particularly for floors and columns. As with this top this variety of marble typically has a blood-red background with white veins turning to purple red
Those pieces blend well with art deco or modern style due to their inexhaustible well design proportion and grace , they do bring a warm touch and soulful presence to any interior .I purchased it from a reputable auction in France first hand with the billing including the age and condition as a proof of provenance .
