Description
Technical

An Italian Carved Giltwood Console Table, with a serpentine veneered Pavonazzetto Romano marble top above a pierced frieze with garlands and C and S-scrolls, on scrolled legs with pronounced C-scrolls and flowerheads terminating in hoof feet joined by an X-form shaped stretcher centred with a cartouche from which emerges a fan of elongated leaves and flowerheads, the whole carved with flamed rocaille, flowers and foliage.
Positively rare in its transitional, original shape and design, this console table was almost certainly once part of a larger, imposing suite of furniture.
Circle of Giacomo Bonario
Rome, ca. 1740–50
