Lot Essay

This stylish console, modelled in the á l'antique form, incorporates a number of features associated with the celebrated designer Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778), specifically the ram's head monopodia. Piranesi's style was enormously influential in Rome during the 1760s and 1770s. For a pair of Roman console tables, circa 1775 in the manner of Piranesi, see The William F. Reilly Collection, Christie's New York, 14 October 2009, lot 40.
