The pale stone, natural gray veining and four carved lug handles give it the kind of grounded presence that makes a kitchen feel more layered the moment it lands there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely dating from the 19th century, this mortier en marbre was carved from a single block of marble, with the handles worked directly from the stone rather than added separately. The interior shows old grinding wear, softened edges and the mellow surface that comes only from long use. The turned wooden pestle is a later companion, but it suits the piece beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet on a kitchen counter, island or sideboard, it brings weight, texture and that wonderful old-world utility that designers love. Use it decoratively with herbs, garlic, walnuts or linen nearby... or let the marble stand on its own as a sculptural French kitchen object with real age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Provence Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54800962781527,"sku":"DEC-010","price":550.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4686\/4215\/files\/antique-french-marble-mortar-pestle-2.jpg?v=1787904706","url":"https:\/\/theprovencecollection.com\/products\/antique-french-marble-mortar-and-pestle-hand-carved-stone-19th-century","provider":"The Provence Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
