This 1930 occasional table follows a Venetian Rococo style and uses wood, paint, and gilding. The piece measures 48 cm high, 66 cm wide, and 49 cm deep. A dark green background covers the timber surface, accented by gold gilt decoration and hand-painted reserves. The twin-handled, scalloped tray top features a figurative scene showing a couple in eighteenth-century dress within a landscape, surrounded by a foliate and cross-hatched border. Cabriole legs support the table base, decorated with gilded scroll accents and visible wear along the edges and surface finish. Placed at the end of a sofa, this table serves as a functional display surface in a living room. The compact dimensions make it suitable for smaller spaces beside seating furniture. The painted and gilded details coordinate with traditional or eclectic interior schemes, holding small items such as decorative objects or drinks.

FAQs

Originating in eighteenth-century Venice, painted furniture, known as lacca veneziana, was inspired by imported East Asian lacquerware. Italian artisans adapted these techniques using gesso, tempera paints, and varnish to decorate carved wooden forms with Rococo scrolls, floral motifs, and figurative scenes.

These tables are typically constructed from softwoods like pine or poplar, coated in a gesso ground layer. The surface is then detailed with hand-applied tempera or oil pigments, shellac or varnish finishes, and leaf gilding along carved highlights.

Authentic period or traditional revival pieces exhibit fluid cabriole legs, curvilinear aprons, and raised tray edges. Look for natural surface craquelure, layered paint wear along edges, hand-painted brushwork rather than stencils, and timber joinery consistent with historical production.

Place the table beside an armchair or sofa as an occasional drink stand or accent piece. Pairing ornate painted surfaces with clean-lined modern upholstery creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the table decorative painted finish.

Dust the surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid water, harsh chemical detergents, or aerosol waxes, as moisture and solvents can dissolve the delicate varnish layer or cause paint flaking.
