19th Century Berlin Oval Plate Table on Carved Foot Dining Table Mahogany German

About the Item

19th Century Berlin Oval Plate Table on Carved Foot A magnificent and rare 19th-century dining table, crafted in Berlin, featuring a solid mahogany oval tabletop supported by a remarkable sculptural base. The three-legged base is composed of intricately carved snake figures, their naturalistic forms rendered in exquisite detail. The snakes' bodies converge in the center, held together by a carved drapery motif, while their gilded heads rest elegantly on a pebble-shaped base. The table’s design reflects the neoclassical influence of the early 19th century and closely aligns with works attributed to Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Comparable pieces are housed in the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin and other notable locations such as Charlottenburg Palace and Peacock Island. This table retains its original patina and finish, untouched and carefully conserved, offering a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the period. Provenance: This exceptional piece is from the prestigious Koenigs Collection, further underscoring its historical significance and rarity. This table is not only a functional object but also a testament to the elegance and innovation of early 19th-century Berlin furniture design, making it a unique addition to any collection or interior.
