Gilt wood, marble

This carved and gilt console table is a fine example of Swedish neoclassical design. A honed slab of Statuary marble sits elegantly atop the spiral-turned painted and gilt legs. The painted base was made to resemble porphyry, a valuable igneous stone which came under imperial monopoly under Roman rule.
