This strikingly ornamental coffee table, from late 1800s Italy, showcases an intriguing fusion of artistic influences. The moulded wooden rectangular top is painted in a vibrant green pigment and embellished at the edges with a grooved variation of the egg and dart motif. The two legs of the table decorated with touches of gilt and green are connected by a turned stretcher. With bold curves and elegant scrolling bulges the legs are a captivating blend of Baroque and Neo-classical elements. The whole piece is arresting and has a strong presence.
