This spectacularly original coffee table is made from a genuine magnesium crankcase taken from a 1967 2.0-litre Porsche 911.

Around 350 mechanical parts have been gilded with 24-carat fine gold. Only the magnesium cooling turbine has been painted, as the material does not allow for gilding. Made some fifteen years ago, this creation elegantly combines decorative art and automotive heritage.

Mounted on four rubber-coated castors for easy movement, it features an 8mm safety glass top with polished edges. The front bears an original Porsche badge, while the rear has laser-cut trim.

A unique piece of automobilia furniture, ideal for a collector or enthusiast of the German brand.
