Fossil Stone Coffee Table On Plexiglass Cross Base, Style Of Heinz Lilienthal

This striking vintage coffee table, attributed to the style of Heinz Lilienthal, features a dramatic black fossil limestone (often referred to as Orthoceras marble) top showcasing ancient Orthoceras fossils—prehistoric marine creatures dating back over 350 million years to the Devonian period.
The round top reveals stunning, naturally embedded fossils with clear linear markings and chambered shapes, preserved in deep grey-black stone with lighter mineral veining. The sleek contrast comes from the cross-shaped Plexiglass base, giving the heavy stone slab an unexpectedly airy, modernist presentation.
This is a collectible design piece—ideal for those who appreciate natural history, sculptural forms, and brutalist elegance.
