Magnificent 18th-century Italian Renaissance-style table

About the Item

This magnificent 18th-century Italian Renaissance-style table, crafted from walnut, was designed to serve both as a library and dining table. A rare and imposing piece, it embodies the grandeur of Italian craftsmanship with its richly carved structure, volutes adorned with rosettes, scrollwork, and acanthus motifs, culminating in lion-paw feet—a detail that exudes power and stability. The table extends with two additional leaves, reaching an impressive 3 meters in length, allowing for grand entertaining or scholarly endeavors. Provenance & History This table once belonged to an important collection in São Paulo, specifically acquired from a residence known for its eclectic and sophisticated decor. The last photo you provided shows the table in its previous home, set against a backdrop of contemporary art and modernist design, a striking contrast that further highlights its timeless elegance. It was previously part of the esteemed collection of Edemar Cid Ferreira, a prominent Brazilian banker and art collector, known for his role in the cultural scene and his vast collection of fine European furniture and artwork. His residence was a landmark of luxury and artistic refinement, blending classical pieces with avant-garde art. This provenance not only reinforces the table’s historical importance but also its presence in a curated environment of exceptional taste. A true museum-quality piece, this table is not just an item of furniture—it is a testament to Italian artistic heritage, a witness to centuries of history, and a conversation piece that brings prestige and grandeur to any setting.
