Consul from the Italian Futurist period
About the Item
This exquisite small table or console dates back to the Italian Futurist period of the 1920s, embodying the bold geometric aesthetics characteristic of the movement. A rare and sophisticated piece, this table showcases sharp lines, sculptural details, and a dynamic sense of form, reflecting the avant-garde artistic and architectural principles that defined the Futurist era.
Crafted entirely from wood, the table features geometric carvings and structured elements that enhance its architectural presence. The top, meticulously painted in faux marble, creates a striking contrast between classic material imitation and modernist design philosophy. Despite its marble-like appearance, the tabletop is entirely wooden, a testament to the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its creation.
What truly distinguishes this table is its precisely carved geometric detailing, which transforms an otherwise simple structure into a sculptural masterpiece. The clean and defined shapes, combined with intricate decorative carvings, reflect the progressive, experimental approach of Italian Futurism, where design was not merely functional but also an artistic expression of movement and energy.The table remains in its original condition, preserving the rich history and authentic patina of the piece. Visible signs of wear and minor defects are present, which only enhance its antique charm and historical authenticity. However, for those who prefer a more refined finish, professional restoration is available upon request to enhance its structure while respecting its original design.
