A Florentine side table, estimated to date from 1960–1970, made of wood and gilded wood with a multicoloured, decorated top.
Description from the seller
An elegant, handmade Florentine side table or coffee table. The table features distinctive, gracefully curved cabriole legs and a scalloped edge around the round top.
The tabletop has rich, traditional decoration in a checkerboard or tile pattern with floral motifs and red/green accents, finished with the distinctive Florentine antiquing technique (craquelure).
The underside shows that the legs are detachable and secured with wing nuts.
Condition:
In good vintage condition with clear signs of age.
The construction and legs are sturdy. The gilding and paintwork show the charming wear and craquelure typical of this style.
However, there are two noticeable drying/shrinkage cracks in the scalloped wooden edge of the tabletop (marked with red circles in the detail photo), a common feature of wood that expands and contracts with age.
Dimensions:
Height: 44 cm.
Top diameter: 38.5 cm.
Footprint width: 26 cm.
Weight: approx. 1.2 kg.
The item will be packed with the utmost care and shipped by registered and insured mail with Track & Trace.
Collection is also possible by arrangement.
