Lot Essay

This console table is related to a group of tables executed in Rome in the 17th and early 18th centuries which rely on highly sculptural giltwood figures as the base for a large marble top. Noted examples include a large side table in the Grand Salon at the Palazzo Colonna in Rome, featuring two enslaved men (see E. Colle, Il Mobile Barocco in Italia, Milan, 2000, pp. 114-115).
