    37"H x 69"W x 20"D

    Dimensions: 37” H x 69” W x 20” D

The upper surface is a dark slate whereas the majority of the exterior is cerulean. Central panels on the doors have been treated as a cartouche for artistic expression to illustrate what appears to be the casting out of Adam & Eve from the garden of Eden and their circumstances following. A twist of the turned knob on either door opens to reveal a divided interior of two sections each with a shelf, 16 ⅝” deep. Above each door is a small drawer using Chinoiserie/Chippendale drop pulls, repeated again on the wide drawer that spans the front. Large, turned bun feet elevate the case from the floor.

  • Italian 18th Century Painted Console Table

    Italian 18th Century Painted Console Table

    35.50"H x 41.75"W x 20.50"D

    Dimensions: 35 ½” H x 41 ¾” W x 20 ½” D

    An extraordinary parcel gilt and polychrome console table from Italy, circa 1780, which has miraculously retained its handpainted, stylized Neoclassical illustrations in green, yellow, and red. As if an artifact from Pompeii, whose rediscovery and excavations along with the town of Herculanaeum where shaping 18th century fashion, the table top features an illustration of a Greek-style vessel (krater) depicting a reclining male youth joined by a harpist to the left and a character with an offering of fruit to the right. Spanning the apron of the table is a repetitive line of palmette design in black over a pistachio-green background, which may be “lacca povera” – a type of decoupage that made works such as this more cost-effective. The tops of the square legs feature a geometric design in gold gilt–reminiscent of a Greek Key–before tapering to the floor. This antique console manages to span two millennia of decorative arts traditions (from the ancient world to the 18th century revival of them) and yet still feels original for the modern interior by its own artistic merits. Gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to preserve the delicate patina. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition as there are multiple areas of loss and craquelure.

    Dimensions: 14” H x 22” W x 21” D

    Italian, Baroque/Rococo period (18th century) footstool with the most elegant carvings across the apron and cabriole legs. Presently the boxed seat is upholstered in a serene shade of periwinkle velvet–a more recent upgrade–outlined in a slightly contrasting tufted trim of light green. The floral and foliate motifs interspersed along the wood frame have a lyrical quality as they curve along the apron, a siren’s song drawing one down to appreciate the vision of the artisan, and contemplate the luxurious opulence of the period. The painted finish has delightfully patinated to a craquelure texture in earthy hues of sand which in no way diminishes the confident stance of the short, bowed feet. Passionate craftsmanship is evident in the beautifully carved details, fluid curves and ornate motifs, iconic of the 18th century Italian aesthetic that mixes with a range of interior styles today.

    Dimensions: 39 ½” H x 16” W x 15 ¼” D

    A fabulous 18th century carved stone column from Portugal, best described as Gothic or Romanesque in style, using the familiar acanthus motif around the capital. By the artist’s hands and tools the stone has been shaped to incredible depth within the folds of the leaves as they spread across the circumference. The abacus (the flat top surface) is rather irregular in shape either by time or being extracted from the original architecture. The square plinth base is similarly affected as the top in areas of loss and discoloration, which has been gently cleaned to appreciate the natural color and textures of the stone. Today it would make an extraordinary pedestal to uplift a garden urn or vase whether used inside or on the patio.

Note the “honest repair” of a circular metal patch in the far left panel on the top which adds to the rustic charm of this 18th century antique.

A finely carved finial inverted from the base reveals foliate carvings to echo the acanthus at the top corners, unifying the look and enhancing its architectural function. Truly these are a remarkable feat of vision and craft. At just over 20” in depth, these floating brackets are a practical solution in lieu of console tables with legs, satisfying both a decorative statement and shelf to display upon.

    A substantial carved cabinet from Portugal, 18th century if not earlier, made of chestnut wood that has been carefully transformed with reeded, geometric designs on the four doors.

Note that the dowel rod appears to be a more recent addition, giving one the flexibility of either hanging or folded storage. A shallow, wide drawer at the base uses handforged iron ring pulls to slide open and a very unusual escutcheon at the center shaped like a star.

    A stunning French oak buffet à deux corps (cabinet in two sections) from the 18th century, designed with features and style that suit many decorating tastes and storage needs for the modern interior.

Across the top row are three drawers of geometric marquetry designs to outline them–like two rows of twisting ribbon–in alternating blonde and dark woods. Brass bail pulls operate the left and right drawers while the middle drawer requires the key to function as a pull (lock is intact but does not turn). The two wide drawers across the center and below, follow the rhythm as above with three distinct rectangular “frames” around the drawer hardware, in graphic marquetry of dark/light woods that have been hand-decorated in wispy patterns of red pigment suggesting plumes or waves–adding depth and regal grandeur to this already fine example of the woodworker’s craft. The side panels have complementary inlaid designs, themes which are replicated down the turrets (using marquetry to imply fluted recesses) moving into the conical feet so from every perspective one can admire the visionary intentions of the maker even two centuries later. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this commode is ready to be enjoyed in your interior. Be sure to view the detailed images to see the current condition as the right side panel appears to have been repaired.

Stylized leaves, fluting, and festooned motifs are highlighted by the rich gold leaf finish now aged to a soft patina. Note that as the pair would have been against the altar and not seen in the round, they are not entirely gilded to save resources so one vertical strip on the backside appears more of a burnt sienna than gold.

    112"H x 71"W x 27.50"D

    Dimensions: 112” H x 71” W x 27 ½” D

    This French Provincial armoire from the 18th century is absolutely breathtaking in every detail. Stylistically the armoire reflects Louis XV taste, with a number of unexpected features that transcend time and place to still capture hearts and imaginations in the modern interior (that is, with the scale to accommodate such a monumental work). A classic bonnet-top cornice arches gently around the crown of the case over towering, paneled doors opening smoothly on steel barrel hinges. Tracing the curvaceous panels of the doors (and implied pilaster between them) is the most exquisite, pinstripe inlay of alternating dark & light wood tones with intermittent “checked” squares like a gameboard for a geometric counterpoint to the sinuous lines. One, very large key operates the locking right door and acts as a pull. The left door hooks from the inside to keep it in place when closed, fitted with an intricate iron crank to operate the vertical latch piercing the upper and lower part of the frame. Inside are three proportionate shelves, 61” W x 19 ½” D, for ample storage of clothing or linens. The center of the serpentine apron is marked with a “Kolovrat” icon, the ancient symbol like a spinning wheel that signifies movement, growth, the sun, and life cycle to bring luck and protection. Scrolling motifs morph into escargot-style feet that raise the piece from the floor. Note there is some loss to the apron just behind the front-left foot, please view the detailed images to appreciate all the special features of this remarkable antique armoire. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior.

In the lower cabinet–protruding forward beyond the upper body–past a working lock and key is an interior fitted with a single shelf, 16 ⅜” deep.

    Dimensions: 9 ½” H x 9 ½” W x ½” D

    An exceptional example of the European pewter tradition, this ceremonial charger plate from France dates to the year 1735 and depicts an exchange between the Saints Peter and Paul that has been meticulously etched into the metal for a commemorative purpose (like the feast of June 29 honoring both saints) or perhaps for some other teaching purpose. The plate rim is engraved with scrolling acanthus, inscribed with “NF” at the top separated by a tiny fleur-de-lis, with “Anno 1735” at the bottom. In the central frame, Saint Peter (spelled “Petri”) is holding a book in his left hand and is extending a key to Paul (Pavli), who holds a book in his left hand and right hand on a sword pointed down. Their names are separated by a fleur-de-lis, and in the background around the figures one may notice stylized floral depictions growing from the ground. Faint scratches over the original image would suggest this plate was used regularly–perhaps in a convent, abbey, or house of worship. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
