This 18th-century marble mortar is a beautifully hand-carved antique apothecary tool sourced from France. Crafted from solid marble, it features a classic lobed design with four rounded supports and a deeply recessed bowl, all shaped with artisanal skill.

The surface displays a natural aged patina, highlighting the mortar's long history of practical use and enhancing its rustic character. Originally used in apothecaries or kitchens to grind herbs and grains, this piece today serves as a striking decorative accent in rustic farmhouse, Mediterranean, or country-style interiors.

Its sculptural form and organic stone texture make it equally compelling as a centerpiece, a collector’s item, or a historical artifact celebrating traditional craftsmanship.
