A striking vintage Italian vide poche carved from richly colored Rosso travertine and centered by a recessed brass bowl. The stone is the defining feature: dramatic shades of rust, terracotta, brick red and brown move organically across the surface, creating a depth and variation unique to the natural material.

The warmth of the Rosso travertine is complemented beautifully by the aged brass insert, which has developed a mellow patina rather than a bright polished finish. Together, the materials give the piece an earthy, almost ancient quality while the simple circular silhouette keeps the overall design decidedly modern.

Large enough to have genuine presence on a coffee table, console or desk, it is a particularly good example of the Italian ability to turn stone into an everyday decorative object. The combination of unusual material, restrained form and practical function makes it equally successful as a vide poche or simply as a sculptural accent.

Collectors Notes

Particularly good for adding color without introducing pattern. Use it as a catchall or oversized jewelry dish, or style it empty alongside books and other stone objects. I particularly like it used as a standalone object on a coffee table.

A colorful find worth building a collected surface around.

Who Are You Buying From?

Every object here has a journey before it ever reaches you. I've spent years seeking these pieces out, in back rooms of old ateliers, from families who've inherited more than they can keep, through dealers I've come to trust, in conversations with people who still work with their hands, because I've always believed the things we choose to live with should carry something true. What began as a private obsession became a devotion, one I now share with my wife and daughter, who remind me daily that the best collections are the ones built to be passed down, not simply owned. What you're holding isn't just an object. You're inheriting its story, and becoming part of its next chapter.
