Description

      A San Marco Oval Cocktail Table from the Ernest Hemingway Collection® from Thomasville®, with free shipping.
      Venice's Piazza San Marco is a central meeting place for tourists to sip coffee, watch people and inhale ancient Italian splendors. Here, Ernest Hemingway whiled away the hours, gathering ideas for his stories. Evocative of the piazza's stone patterning, the inlaid fossil stone top of the San Marco Oval Cocktail Table is framed in a rich brown finish and set on a shapely reeded pedestal. A suitable gathering place for friends and conversation.  
      Intense and charismatic, Ernest Hemingway reveled in both the simplicities of life and its extremes. A talent for writing and insatiable thirst for adventure drew this twentieth century war correspondent, novelist and avid sportsman to some of the world's most beautiful, exotic action-filled settings. In Paris, Milan, Pamplona, Kenya, Key West and Havana he captured the events of his time in a straightforward writing style that belied the complexities underlying his life and work. Inspired by its namesake, The Ernest Hemingway Collection ® from Thomasville ® marries romantic notions, simple forms and exotic details in an expansive home furnishings collection that honors the many facets of the Nobel Prize-winning author's legendary life.
