Pair of console tables with griffons in ebonized walnut wood, Italy 1860.

About the Item

The pair of console tables is made of walnut wood for the sculpted and carved parts, while the structural parts are made of ebonized fruit wood. The foot has a square plan with an owl's beak frame at the top and a flat surface. In the center is the support of the griffin, a tripartite volute element completed by a front element. On the back, in the rear edge, rises a column element of rectangular section with a molded frame at the base. The column rises smoothly. From the base rises and protrudes the sculpture of the chimera with spread wings and a long neck and griffin head, on whose head is a sphere, holding up the console top, together with the tips of the wings and the top of the column behind it. Italy, circa 1860.

Memento Mori in Wood with Chrismon, Monogram of Christ, Italy End of 17th Cent
Located in Milan, IT
A Memento Mori in wood with Chrismon, monogram of Christ. Valuable sculpture in fruit wood in almost true-to-life measurements, sculpted with art and finished with a wealth of details. The wood was covered with a thin layer of pellet and finished in color. Immediately above the forehead, in correspondence with the anterior neonatal fontanel, the CHRISMON is painted in purple red. The monogram of Christ or Chi Rho (or CHRISMON) is a combination of letters from the Greek alphabet, which form an abbreviation of the name of Christ. Solar in nature, often inscribed in a circle with multiple rays reminiscent of the cosmic wheel deriving from the ancient solar emblems of Egypt. The symbol consists of two large overlapping letters, the 'X' and the 'P'. They correspond, respectively, to the Greek letter '?' ('chi', which reads kh, aspirated) and '?' ('rho', which reads r). These two letters are the initials of the word '???st??' (Khristòs ), the name of Jesus, which in Greek means "anointed" and translates the Hebrew "messiah". On the sides of these two letters, there are very often two others: one 'a' and one '?', alpha and omega...
