18th Century Italian Silver Gilt Console Table

£6,250    $8,358    €7,323
An 18th Century Italian Console Table with Original Silver Gilt and Painted Finish.
 
This beautiful rococo form console table was made in Italy in the mid 18th century. It has a shapely top, supported on a very decorative pierced, asymmetrical frieze. The table has four cabriole legs with leaf carved knees and stands on knurled leaf and scroll decorated feet. It has a disguised drawer in the centre of the frieze. Decorated in a silver gilt finish throughout, with the exception of part of the top which has blue-green paint on it, and has aged beautifully.
 
The decorative motifs on the table are largely rococo in style. The C and S scrolls combined with naturalistic foliage here are beautiful. The drawer front also features a large cross which is unusual on a piece of this sort. This raises the possibility that perhaps the table was originally intended for a religious building or may represent the devotion of the person who commissioned the piece. Either way it is very interesting feature.
 
A very beautiful table!
