Refined 19th Century Brazilian Table in the Style of Dom João VI
Located in Rio De Janeiro, BR
Refined 19th Century Brazilian Table in the Style of Dom João VI This elegant Brazilian table from the 19th century exemplifies the transitional sophistication of the Dom João VI period, where neoclassical restraint met tropical grandeur. Executed in richly patinated hardwood, likely jacarandá or vinhático, this piece presents a strong architectural silhouette, softened by the graceful curve of its saber legs and the rhythmic turning of its four central columns. The tabletop features drop leaves on both sides, a practical and refined solution for varying spatial needs, and two central drawers adorned with stylized floral carvings and original turned wood pulls. The fluted baluster legs rest on a shaped lower stretcher, lending both stability and sculptural harmony to the piece. The scroll feet with spherical terminals subtly echo Regency influence, but the overall character is distinctly luso-brasileiro. This table would have graced a distinguished residence—perhaps a rural fazenda or a city sobrado—serving as a multifunctional piece in a reception room, library, or intimate dining space. Today, it offers collectors and interior designers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of authentic imperial...
