Lot Essay

This console table with its tied ribbons on the pierced frieze and its boldly scrolling cabriole legs is related to a pair of console tables in the Palazzo Reale, Genova, which has a similar tied ribbon to the centre of the pierced frieze and has closely related legs (L. Canonero, Baroccheto Genovese, Milano, 1962, plate CXIX).
