Reference: Z3460

Desk table. Mahogany wood. XIX century. Rectangular table top decorated with a strip of vegetal motifs on the outer edge, waist enhanced with bands carved with ovals and vegetal motifs of classicist influence and legs decorated with an elegant cabriole shape and carved motifs (roles, bows and simple vegetal themes that are extend along the waist of the furniture) topped by very simplified claw shapes holding balls. This finial on the legs also appears in Chippendale examples and in American works and, apparently, was a theme inspired by works from the Far East, replacing the dragon's leg with the sphere with one of a lion (thus showing English supremacy) and making very popular in England during approximately the first half of the 18th century, and recovering later.
