This antique side table from Italy has a beautiful marble top with curvy serpentine front, canted and bowed side corners, and shapely sides, with a flattened backside (as made to rest against a wall). It rests upon the apron with elaborately-carved frieze in a shell and floral motif, with pierced carving embellishing the front center. The knees are adorned with carved flowers with tassels, making their way down the four elongated cabriole style legs, each with carved leaves and inwardly scrolling feet which give them a paw-like appearance. The marble is older, but likely not original to the piece - but a rather skillfully done replacement. The coloring is comprised of squash and umber tones with a slightly pinkish/salmon color. The table retains its original bronze/gold and brown finish, which has a light patina but in great overall condition. This period Rococo Italian console, approximately 2.5 feet in width, is a perfectly petite table, with high impact on design and style. See less
