Round wooden table in antique Victorian style, made in Italy, dating from 1910–1920, with a marquetry top and a turned pedestal, 56 cm wide, 56 cm deep and 60 cm high, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
It is a table that breathes that late Victorian air which, already in the early years of the 20th century, continued to cultivate a taste for meticulous elegance and well-understood craftsmanship. The round shape gives it a friendly, almost intimate presence, designed for a bright corner or to accompany a quiet conversation. The top, polished and warm, is built from segments that converge in a central marquetry motif: a small geometric sun that organizes the surface and gives it a touch of distinction without falling into ornamental excess. That marquetry, fine and precise, reveals a workshop that still worked with nineteenth-century tradition, playing with the grain and tones of the wood to create a pattern that is perceived more up close than from afar.
The single pedestal, smoothly turned, opens into three curved legs that recall the Victorian taste for wavy lines, but now with a more modern restraint, less overloaded. The structure conveys stability without losing lightness, as if the table wished to support itself with elegance rather than strength. Taken together, it is a piece that combines the Victorian heritage with that refinement of the early XXth century, when craftsmanship sought a balance between tradition and sobriety, and every detail—from the curve of the legs to the shine of the top—is designed to seduce without imposing itself.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
