Baroque Console Lombardy Early 18th Century

Baroque console table in lime wood, Lombardy Early 18th century. Marbled moulded top, shaped under-top band and uprights, connecting crosspieces. The richly carved console table features reserves, phytomorphic and floral decorations, leafy and "C" shaped scrolls, curls and Greek frets; in the upper part of the uprights, mirrored leafy scrolls support lambrequins. At the centre of the under-top band we find a basket containing flowers and plant branches, while just below, at the centre of the crosspiece, there is a basket containing a fruit and leaves, placed within an architecture of scrolls with a crowned cymatium. Top replaced, restorations. This console table is a beautiful example that demonstrates the influence of French taste on Lombard Baroque.
