Fine marker nightstand

Here is a beautiful little side table, bedside, with its fine marquetry and three drawers. Its marble tray of la brèche d'alet, improperly called aleppo, consists of yellowish angular fragments, oranges, greys, browns and purple blacks encrusted in a gritty yellow cement. This marble, known since antiquity, has been widely used since the 17th century for trays of tables and dressers. His quarry in france near aix in provence in the bouches-du-rhône is now closed. Other breaches are exploited in the surrounding area such as the tholonet breach, the st. Victory breach, the imperial breach or the ladies breach.
