This fine Italian console or side table stands on four turned legs with giltwood mouldings to the collars and with simpler gilded mouldings used at other points as they descend towards the feet. There is also a giltwood moulding on the frieze of the table and in the centre of the frieze is an excellent ormolu Apollo mask mount.
