Portuguese Bleached Walnut Console Table, 18th Century

About the Item

Console table hand-made in Portugal in the late 1700s using walnut and pegged construction. The table has beautiful proportions and character, and despite its light color, it has depth and warmth. The top features a single board with scallop ogee edges on three sides and rounded corners. The apron is flat with scallop carved edges and, on the front, we can find two overlay drawers with curved drawer fronts following the shape of the scalloped front. The drawers both show beautiful, large, hand-made dovetail joints, and the escutcheons are inlaid. The legs are cabriole and decorated with hand-carved laurel leaves at the top and again at the foot. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has imperfections that make it unique. This piece lived a long life and despite its age it will fit perfectly in a modern home because of its small size and light color. Its proportions make it very versatile because it would look great as a console table in an entryway, but also as a small writing desk or decorative side table.

18th Century Bleached Walnut Italian Credenza, Buffet, Sideboard
Located in Carmine, TX
Walnut credenza handcrafted in Italy in the mid 1700s and bleached recently. Don't let its delicate overall appearance fool you because, as my lower back can attest, this baby is heavy. This is a beautiful credenza that follow the typical italian style with slanted sides, which create small triangular storage spaces on either sides of the two main front doors and drawer. Overall the credenza is very straight in lines. The drawers have flat overlay fronts, and the doors show chamfered panels with a raised carving and are framed by flat molding. The carving and molding help giving the piece some depth and decoration. The bleaching process also provided the credenza with additional warmth, depth and decoration, by bringing out the beautiful grain and underlying colors of the wood. The top of the credenza is composed of boards with ogee edge nailed to the main case. On the inside the credenza is very spacious, providing plenty of storage space. Overall this is a beautiful piece that has lived a long life, and has received some help in "hanging in there" over the years. This is a piece that will fit well with both modern and...
