Arundel Decorative has dated this Venetian Painted Centre Table to the 19th Century.
The painted surface provides an attractive and practical alternative whilst complementing the age and style of the piece.
The finely modelled frieze is centred by a carved cherub mask enclosed within a gilt shell cartouche, flanked by scrolling ornament and decorative panels. Standing on graceful cabriole legs enriched with gilt foliate carving, the table displays the exuberance and craftsmanship associated with the Venetian decorative tradition.
The painted and gilded surfaces have acquired a wonderful aged patina over many years, with gentle wear adding depth, authenticity and considerable decorative appeal. The elegant proportions and sculptural quality make this a highly versatile piece, suitable as a centre table, lamp table, occasional table or statement piece within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A particularly charming example of Italian decorative furniture, offering excellent scale, colour and character.
Good antique condition throughout, with age-related wear to the painted and gilded surfaces consistent with age and use. The table retains an appealing patina and is structurally sound. The faux-marble decorated top is a later replacement for the original marble slab.
