19th Century Italian Vanity Table with Mirror

About the Item

Elegant and mercurial, this antique wooden console table is a quintessential Rococo fantasy. Built in Italy in the 1800s, the form evokes grottos and fountains, a forest shrine overgrown by lush plants. The dramatic S-shaped curves of the front legs and the graceful contour of the tabletop and base create a vivacious silhouette, carved all over with curling leaves, five-petalled flowers and gadroons. The back panel is adorned with a large mirror, which accentuates the sense of spaciousness and symmetry. The gilded surface of the wood has worn over time to a romantic patina of warm cream, robin’s egg blue, natural wood and aged gold. An oval platform in the center of the composition would have originally held a small statue, raised to the mirror like a household deity.
