That is beautiful, but I would need to employ others just to carry/move it around.

You need an elephant to move your trunk.

French designer Mathieu Lehanneur has produced Liquid Marble, an installation of sculpted marble which represents the movement of the ocean. The complexities of the moving water were captured using sophisticated 3D software developed for the film industry. A single block of marble was machined to replicate the files and hand polished to create a reflective surface. This is the third installation of the Liquid Marble series, and the jet-black piece was designed specifically for the Norfolk Music Room at the V&A.

Liquid Marble was displayed as part of The London Design Festival 2016 at the V&A.

Looks to me like there's no clear coat for a flat surface, so it's strictly a piece of art with no utilitarian use?

I don't think that grillwork will keep the flies out... tigers either.

I wonder if the door was structurally falling apart, and rather than replace the antique they figured out what would be necessary to brace it back together and then commissioned something artistic in that shape?

Could be, it would certainly look better than L-brackets, threaded rod, and turnbuckles.
