Mid 19th Century
The exaggerated serpentine serra collin agglomerate marble top with Dupont edge is supported by a deeply recessed conforming body with a relief carved diaper pattern frieze supported by a delicately carved scallop shell and pierced carved symmetrical acanthus scrolls that undulate and transform into a curling shell form. The apron is supported by richly carved C-scrolls with bell-flower pendants and acanthus scroll feet. The whole stabilized by an incurved carved stretcher with pierce carved shell.

Condition: Shrinkage cracks at joints commensurate with age. Some wear to finish and minor chips to gilding. Top cracked in center and repaired. Overall very good condition. 35 1/2 x 47 1/2 x 23 inches (90 x 121 x 59 cm)
