Italian 18th Century Side or Writing Table
-
Description
This is a charming rustic Italian (probably Tuscan) 18th century side or writing table. The table features a chip-carved apron with a single drawer supported by carved lion's paw feet and a central stretcher. The walnut top is a later marriage, but this does not detract from the decorative value of the table. The stretcher is, perhaps, a replacement, but the wood and carving is consistent with the balance of the base. The table has acquired a wonderful rich natural patina.
