Walnut coffee table with drawer, 18th century












Venice, 18th century. Wooden coffee table, 76 x 73 x 53 cm. Small and refined, this elegant walnut coffee table has a small central drawer and is finely carved with delicate plant and scroll motifs with a central shell. The refinement and taste for detail are typical of 18th-century Venetian cabinet-making, famous for creating tables and consoles characterised by the lightness of the serpentine line and the supple arches of the en cabriole supports. For a comparison, see some tables of similar workmanship currently held in private collections and published in the volume 'Mille mobili veneti. Domestic furniture in the Veneto from the 15th to the 19th century', vol. III, pp. 165-167.
