Antiques - Furniture
Reference: Z5502
Folding mahogany side table in the George II style, USA (America), circa 1860. A tripod with animal claws gripping a ball serves as the base for the furniture's foot, adorned with a small fluted column and a vegetal bulb. The folding mechanism is located above this foot, and the top surface is round with a profile featuring curves flanked by straight sections. American furniture owes much to English design, as this example demonstrates: it follows the so-called George II style, named after the monarch during whose reign it was created (he was born in 1683 and died in 1760), and is based on models taken from Renaissance Roman architecture.
