18th Century Swedish Rococo Tilt-Top Table with Original Black Back

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
An authentic 18th-century Swedish Rococo tilt-top table, notable for its sculptural form and original construction. The round scalloped top rests on a baluster-turned pedestal, supported by three boldly curved legs with pronounced Rococo flair. The top retains its original black painted underside, a rare and desirable feature, while the surface has been later repainted in a bluish-grey finish that enhances its age-softened character. The tilt-top mechanism remains intact, allowing the table to stand upright when not in use, a practical feature in 18th-century interiors, where such tables could be easily moved aside or displayed like decorative panels. With its graceful proportions, flowing curves, and patina developed over centuries, this piece embodies the elegance and liveliness of the Swedish Rococo period.
