Antique Painted Oak Renaissance Style Table from Avignon, France, circa 1870

About the Item

Hand-carved with Renaissance style motifs in the South of France, circa 1870, this painted table hails from Avignon. The oak base has a thick apron adorned with two layers of crenellation and a carved leaf in the center of each side. A thick stretcher embellished with infilled foliate niches (a common Renaissance motif) is surmounted by three full turned baluster and two half-balusters. Both of the half-balusters are part of their corresponding truss, which has a lovely display of volutes and curled leaves flanking a mascaron. There are a pair of small mascarons on top of the volutes, visible from the long sides of the tables. Scrolled feet are festooned with foliate carvings on top of small risers with quarter round molding. A robust base painted antique white, the truss ends and balusters support a beautiful 1 ¼” thick multi-colored marble top with a quarter round molding and rounded corners. The hues of the marble range from light gray to rose, with mottled inclusions of dark gray, red, and black, arranged in wavelike striations. Our Renaissance style table can be used with a variety of interior styles. It can be displayed as a center table in a foyer or library. A unique application would be to install it as a beautiful kitchen island.

  • Antique Carved French Oak Oval Hunt Table with Boar, Dog, Fox, and Stag, c 1890
    Located in Dallas, TX
    A beautiful example of Black Forest style carvings, this hunt table is highlighted by a base adorned with four scrolled leaf legs, each topped by a different animal: boar, dog, stag, and fox (as seen in the main photo, clockwise starting at the lower left). The table was hand-carved from oak in France, circa 1890, with an oval top with rich color and graining. A protruding molding adorned with niches infilled with foliage surmounts a shallow apron with thin molding. Interestingly, there are sections of the infilled niches that are covered by additional leaf tips. Each of the four fantastically carved animal legs are separated by a floret with a vertical orientation. The grouping is topped by a large, bulbous leaf cup, while a noix hangs down below, embellished with fluted crenellation. An onion foot was added beneath each animal, raising the table to a height of 29 ¾ inches. The perfect addition to a game room, study, or living room, our oak oval hunt table...
