Small side trestle table hand-made in Italy using walnut in the early 1700s. This table is a sturdy piece softened by beautiful carvings and packs a lot of character is a small package. The top features an inset board framed on four sides, and is decorated by a rectangular carved motif, which is repeated on the apron. The two legs are connected by an h-stretcher and all of these elements are decorated by carving. As a nice juxtaposition to the rather simple and straight-lined top, the legs of the table have rounded sides and end in large scalloped feet. Additionally, depth is provided to the legs by the fluting on the top, the acanthus leaves on the edges, a cartouche on the center, and beading on bottom. The beading motif is repeated on the top and bottom edges of the stretcher, where the year 1462 is also carved in roman number. We do not think this carving is original to the time the piece was built, but may have been done to mark an important date for the family represented in the coat of arms...

This large and attractive architectural piece is known as a pulpit canopy. Before the advent of microphones and speakers, orators would often address assemblies from elevated platforms known as “wine glass pulpits”. These podiums featured domed roofs called abat-voix, sometimes known as sounding boards, that would project sound outwards. Our walnut wood pulpit canopy is a fine example of such a device. Hand-carved and hand-painted in Italy in the 1700’s, our abat-voix is roughly octagonal in shape. Each of the sides have edges with luxuriously thick step molding, alternating between stained and gilded wood. Each of the corner cornices are adorned with gilded flower carvings, although some are missing. The interior of the canopy features a gilded open sun with sinuous rays emanating all around. Each of the sides are adorned with foliate margents surrounded by scrolls, again with some losses. All the edges are bordered with a thin layer of gilding. Although our fascinating 18th century Italian walnut pulpit canopy was designed for a church pulpit...
