Lot Essay

The flower head-filled Greek-key frieze on this console table is derived from related designs carved in the early 1790s by Tuscan carvers such as Lorenzo Dolci, who worked for the Court from the mid 1770s. For a related console table in the Palazzo Pitti, see E. Colle, I Mobili di Palazzo Pitti - Il primo periodo lorenese 1737-1799, Florence, 1992, p. 115, fig. 44.
