Description

A highly decorative console table in the Dutch ‘kwab’ style, featuring rich and expressive woodcarving. The table has a gilded and lacquered wooden base and a heavy, thick marble top.

The design displays clear characteristics of the Dutch ‘kwab’ style, which is distinguished by its exuberant, organic forms and sculpturally rendered ornamentation.

The table rests on four robust, curved S-volute legs, which terminate at the bottom in monumental scrolls. At the top, the legs are adorned with richly carved heads of mythical creatures.

The openwork frieze between the legs is decorated with symmetrical scrollwork and floral garlands, which together form a dynamic and richly ornamented whole.

What makes this console table special is the exceptionally rich finish on all four sides. Both the front and rear, as well as both sides, feature refined carving. As a result, the table is not intended solely for placement against a wall, but can be positioned freestanding within an interior and admired from all angles.

The Netherlands, circa 1660.
