A bold and elegant side table in solid walnut. The one piece thumb nail moulded top above a single drawer with a raised centre cartouche, the turned legs are extraordinarily chunky giving the piece a robust outline whilst still retaining an air of sophistication. I have a deep love of pieces from this region, they have a wonderful elegant strength. Wonderful rich, deep patina
The condition is very good, there is some historic worm damage as can be expected with walnut but it is sporadic, dead and treated. The handle to the drawer is an 18thc replacement.
Italian. Bologna. Circa 1650
Height 72 cm ( 28 1/2”)
Width 89 cm ( 35”)
Depth 60cm ( 23 1/2’)
