A beautiful veined marble (likely Siena marble), characterized by shades ranging from ivory white to beige and golden brown. The outer edge is embellished with an elaborate sculptural relief carving with plant motifs reminiscent of acanthus leaves. Its design is inspired by classical Italian antiquity.

Its circular bowl-shaped structure with a flared base and thick walls lends itself to a variety of uses in the home. You can use it as a decorative object, as a bathroom sink, or as an elegant and functional container. Please note that it is not drilled, but you can drill a hole if you wish to convert it into a sink.

It is in good condition with some signs of wear along the edges (see detailed photos) consistent with its age. A mark is visible underneath, consistent with its previous placement, likely on a pedestal. See less
