Portoro marble is a rare and precious material used since antiquity for its unique black color veined with deep yellow. Used by King Louis XIV for the decoration of Versailles, it was employed in the creation of luxury furniture, objets d'art, and fireplaces in the 17th, 18th, and 20th centuries during the Art Deco period. It can notably be found on the top of a commode by Levasseur, acquired by the Count of Artois for the Louis XV bedroom at the Palace of Versailles. While its availability is now very limited, Portoro marble remains a prestigious material that continues to find its place in luxurious interiors.
