About the Item

This remarkable dining table is a true example of late 18th-century Brazilian craftsmanship from the region of Minas Gerais, showcasing the influence of colonial design combined with local techniques. The table, made from solid hardwood, features a robust rectangular top that has aged gracefully over the centuries, maintaining its original rich patina. The natural wear of the wood adds an authentic character to the piece, reflecting its long history. The base of the table is equally impressive, with legs that exude elegance, displaying the mastery of woodworking techniques prevalent during that era. Each leg is sturdily connected, ensuring stability and durability, even after centuries of use. The legs are joined by stretchers, providing additional support and a sense of symmetry. One of the standout features is the integrated drawer, with "Doce De Leite" pillows, the losangle decor, typical of Minas Gerais colonial furniture, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This drawer remains intact, with original hardware, making it not only a beautiful decorative element but also practical for storage. The table’s dimensions allow it to be the perfect centerpiece for any dining room, large enough to accommodate multiple guests while preserving its unique and historical presence. A piece like this is rare, embodying the essence of Brazilian colonial heritage, and is ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of antique furniture. It can also be used as a large console table / hall table.

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...
