About the Item

Scagliola Policromia coffee table from 1731 with the signature of the original Italian origin from Venice. The work is signed by the artist Giglielmo Blaeuni. At the center of the polychrome table we find an astrolabe.

On the sides of the astrolabe there are two cobalt blue circles containing other symbolic animals. To protect the work, the table is protected by glass.
