Chronologically this lot can be placed in the late 18th Century, circa 1780-1785. The absence of supports, the curvature of the legs as well as the medallion in the antique manner on the front are the main indicators for this dating, particularily if considering the uniform chronology of Venetian art, which proceeds at its own speed, in which neo-classicism is only absorbed in a timid manner in the 80s
The ornament of the console table corresponds both to that of a frame, which featured in a 1762 engraving of Alessandro Longhi's portrait of J.B. Tiepolo (d.1780), as well as to a Venetian frame executed in the 1770s for a portrait Procuratore Federigo Contarini and now displayed at the Palazzo Mocenigo e. S.Stae, Venice (see A.
