Portor marble is a rare and noble element used since antiquity for its unique black color veined with deep yellow. Exploited by King Louis XIV for the decoration of Versailles, it was used in the creation of luxury furniture, objets d'art and mantels in the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries during the Art Deco period. It is notably found on the Levasseur commode top, acquired by the Comte d'Artois in the Louis XV bedroom at the Château de Versailles. With its limited availability today, Portor remains a prestigious material that continues to find its place in luxurious interiors.
