19th Century Gilt Bronze & Malachite Table

A 19th century Rococo gilt bronze and malachite pedestal table. Designed and crafted in the finest sculptural Rococo form, this magnificent solid bronze table, finely cast, polished and gilded, sports a fabulous malachite top. A true work of art, this top features the most spectacular figuration and vibrant colors, the radiant center highlighting the magnificence of this highly prized Russian gemstone. All set within a cast acanthus "C" frame of the most exquisitely carved scrolls and volutes, supported and held by three acanthus leaf branches, which then fly up to join a swirling central column of the greatest beauty, leading to three of the most intensely designed and shaped flowery trellis and scroll "C" legs.
