AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

No reserve price!

Low table in the 'Fra(t)ino' style "Fratino" (Monastery Style), Late 19th Century, Southern Europe (woodworking with Italian or Spanish influence).

Low side table or footstool of rectangular shape, made in solid dark wood. Smooth top with straight lines and a molded edge finished in half-round. The lower waist is decorated by a side-cut skirt.
Resting on a showy and sturdy base composed of two uprights carved in an artistic silhouette of opposed volutes (lyre style), connected by a central ornamental carved crosspiece, ensuring stability and the rustic, classical look of Renaissance monastic dining furniture. Signs of use and natural patina wear.

It presents a small crack in one foot that does not affect it structurally, and the other foot has a hard sponge shim used as a height spacer to prevent wobbling.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces. ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time. Thank you very much
