The inventive and elaborate stretcher, the finely carved continuous frieze and the pronounced foliate-carved capitals of the legs of this side table are design elements that are often found on furniture produced in St. Petersburg in the 1780s and 90s and thus suggest that this lot is of Russian manufacture. A similar giltwood side table with comparable legs and frieze is illustrated I. K. Bott, et. al., Русская мебель от петровского барокко до александровского ампира (Russian Furniture from the Petrine Baroque to the Alexandrine Empire), Moscow, 2004, p. 41. For a console table with identical pierced frieze and a side table with comparable legs and stretcher in Pavlovsk Palace, see A. Kuchumov, Russian Decorative Art in the Collection of the Pavlovsk Palace Museum, Leningrad, 1981, figs. 2 and 7, respectively.

In good overall condition and ready to place. With some scattered age and construction cracks. With evidence of old, now inactive worming. Some carved elements of decoration on the stretcher replaced, and also with some repaired breaks. Excellent gilding, possibly original and with later touch ups. The later marble top with some abrasions and scratches, consistent with use.
