About the Item

These magnificent, ornate, intricately decorated, gilded Svenska Blue console tables, carrying faux marble tops are an example of the fine craftsmanship and style that once adorned Palaces and Stately homes of the most wealthy in society. These console tables are in exceptional condition and as a matching pair are widely sought after by architects and interior designers alike. Gilding furniture is a very old practice, but the period which saw the greatest use was the Baroque period. In France, gilded furniture was popular during the reign of Louis XIV. In Italy, furniture was adorned with gilded figures or ornate carvings to show the wealth of a family, thus, tables, chests and cupboards were covered in gold, which enhanced the embellishments and reflected the prestige of the owners. In ancient times gold was beaten into very thin sheets by a specialised craftsman for use in the gilding process. This pair of Louis XIV style console tables are a testament to the centuries of work and traditions handed down over time.

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...
