About the Item

This table console is an especially precious item in our workshop. It has come to us a very long time ago, and it belongs to the XVIth century, precisely 1730: the Louis XV period. This was a time of great experimentation with shapes and décor, very different from what there was before. The S shaped legs, enriched with floral patterns carved in soft wood and gilded in pure gold, are in contraposition to the light blue lacquer in the background. This was a typical style characteristic of Rome and its surroundings. The intricacy and richness of this table makes it a perfect piece of interior design, perfect for a classical environment or quirky one. The table top is of a peculiar white/yellow marble, making it a very sturdy piece of furniture. This table console has been restored a while back following rigorous traditional methods, by Claudia Fontana, daughter of the Roman Maestro Alfredo Fontana, learned this antique art of restoration from the hard lessons of her father, in a Bottega in the centre of Rome. The great influence of pieces that have come by the Bottega enriched the cultural and historical knowledge of the Fontana's, who have spent their lives in bringing back to life ancient pieces of furniture. Claudia's philosophy and work ethic make this process a pure form of art: attention to details, historical research and knowledge combined with a grand amount of patience makes it possible for us, nowadays, to touch, feel and envision the aesthetics of a world that used to be. All of her restoring techniques are in fact focused on regenerating pieces to be structurally solid but maintaining the original aesthetic as much as possible.
