Carved from richly veined stone, this Victorian-era platter is both utilitarian and sculptural — exemplifying the era’s appreciation for natural materials presented with elegance. Likely fashioned from marble or alabaster, the smooth surface and natural variation in tone create visual texture and weight.
Such pieces were favored for serving delicacies or as display items in grand homes, resting on sideboards or under domed glass covers. Hand-selected and shaped by artisans, no two are alike — making this platter a refined artifact of 19th-century luxury.
