WALNUT GATELEG TABLE, “CLAW AND BALL” LEGS, 19TH CENTURY.
Decorative Antiques -
Reference: Z0485
Walnut wood wing table with claw legs, 19th century. The rectangular table, supported by four eagle-like legs grasping balls, features a drawer and two folding tabletops (from which this type of table derives its name). The piece's decorative simplicity stems from its design as a primarily functional piece of furniture, although it displays the characteristic use of decorative elements from various traditions, a common feature in 19th-century art. The legs are very common in 18th-century English examples ("claw and ball" with cabriole legs), and the wood used is the most typical for Spanish furniture.
