WALNUT GATELEG TABLE, “CLAW AND BALL” LEGS, 19TH CENTURY.
Decorative Antiques - Furniture
Reference: Z0485
Walnut wing and claw leg table, 19th century. On four eagle legs that grab balls, stands the rectangular table, with a drawer and two folding tops (from whose presence the name of this typology comes). The decorative simplicity of the work is due to its creation as primarily functional furniture, although you can see the characteristic use of decorative elements from different traditions, something common in 19th century art. The legs are very common in English examples from the 18th century (“claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg) and the wood in which it is made is the most common in Spanish furniture.
