About the Item
An extraordinary pair of Italian Baroque console tables, dating from the 17th century, remarkable for their high sculptural quality and lavish decorative theatrical design.
Each console features an exuberant carved base in giltwood with silvered mecca finish, richly adorned with volutes, grotesque masks, acanthus scrolls, and allegorical figures. The carving is deeply modeled, almost three-dimensional, giving the consoles the presence of true sculptures rather than mere pieces of furniture.
Each console is conceived almost as a free-standing sculpture, the vigorous high relief sculptural carvings produce striking chiaroscuro effects and convey the grandeur typical of the Italian Baroque aesthetic. The whole piece exudes movement, elegance, and opulence.
The tops are crafted from solid marble, featuring a refined palette of black with grey and white veining, and are cut with an elegant, shaped profile. This rare use of full stone slabs — rather than veneered surfaces — enhances the consoles’ prestige and emphasizes their lasting durability.
The silvered mecca gilding, preserved with an authentic patina, enhances the play of light across the depth of the carvings, and reflecting light with a refined brilliance.
With their theatrical design, sculptural presence. and strong architectural character, these consoles are masterpieces of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship. They can serve as important statement pieces in a luxury interior, a palatial hallway, or a refined living space, embodying the grandeur of Baroque decorative arts. They embody the drama and magnificence of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship.

Pair Italian Early 20th Century Rococo-Style Gilt-Bronze Center Tables/Consoles
By Fonderia Chiurazzi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
A Large and Impressive Pair of Italian Early 20th Century Rococo-Style Gilt-Bronze Center Tables or Wall Consoles with Marble Tops, attributed to Luigi Ciampaglia, renowned for his leadership at the esteemed Fonderia (Foundry) Chiurazzi di Napoli (Naples). These tables boast intricately cast serpentine gilt bronze frames featuring an ornate apron adorned with bearded male masks flanked by swaged floral garlands, C-scrolls, and acanthus motifs. They stand on four elegantly curved cabriolet legs joined by an 'X' stretcher, all terminating in floral sabots, supporting luxurious veined green Verde Antico marble tops. Both tables are elegantly engraved with "Ciampaglia" on the apron, suggesting they were likely a special private commission by Luigi Ciampaglia, possibly crafted by either the Fonderia Ciampaglia or the Fonderia Chiurazzi. Circa: Naples, 1920-1940.
Note: Another example of this model is currently on display at The Miramar Mansion in Newport, R.I
Luigi Ciampaglia held the position of head artisan at the Fonderia (Foundry) Chiurazzi di Napoli. Established by Gennaro Chiurazzi (1840–1906), the Fonderia Chiurazzi originated from a modest foundry founded in Naples in 1870. It swiftly gained renown, expanding into a workshop within the Albergo dei Poveri, where a team of skilled craftsmen, known as formatori, diligently produced casts of numerous statues. Over time, the foundry secured the privilege of taking molds from prestigious collections, including those of the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, the Capitoline Museums, the Vatican, the Borghese Gallery in Rome, and the Palazzo Pitti and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. This resulted in the creation of over fifteen hundred plaster piece molds, embodying the century-long legacy of the company—a feat that remains unparalleled today. Chiurazzi bronzes...
