Description
This is a slab of polished marble in beige, 38cm long, 18cm wide and 6cm tall, raised on two rounded marble feet. We list it as an ornament, and it earns its place on a shelf or table on looks alone, but it is just as happy working as a low footed stand or serving board. The top is a rectangle with softly rounded corners and a gently eased edge, and the stone carries sweeping veins that run across it on the diagonal. Marble is a natural stone, so the veining on yours will differ from piece to piece. At 5.15KG it is a weighty, solid thing that sits firmly wherever you put it.
The maker approves it for food, so it works as a serving board: a wedge of cheese and some crackers, a few pastries, or a cake brought to the table on its own low platform. Marble feels cool to the touch, which suits butter and cheese. Away from the kitchen, use it on a coffee table or sideboard to raise a candle holder, a small vase or a short stack of books, or on a dressing table to gather jewellery and perfume bottles in one place. Its 6cm height gives whatever sits on it a little more presence without blocking the view across a dining table.
The marble has a polished finish, which gives the top a smooth, soft sheen. The two feet are rounded and carry heavier veining than the top, which lends the piece its sculptural, pebble-like look from the side. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so treat it as a hand-wash piece. For styling, keep it simple: one good object, such as a single cup or a small plant, lets the veining show. The styling props shown are not included.
