"Tuscany Console Second Quarter Of The 18th Century"
Carved and gilded wooden console. It rests on four supports with opposing double curves ending in full-bodied curling volutes held by mascarons; on the upper volutes some carved female caryatids rest in the round. The connection of the legs is made by volutes ending in another female protome, here turned upwards, with a pair of petals and acanthus leaves forming a backdrop. The under-top band is centred by a carved cherub set within architectural volutes. On the sides simple carved volutes; the “lambrecchino” carved motifs decorating the furniture have pendants carved like curtain tassels. Moulded top paved in “Medicean breccia” marble resting on a moulding.
