An Italian Giltwood Console Table Made In Rome, Circa 1740

The rectangular marble top with central Spanish Brocatelle within a border of black marble, above a moulded Sienna frieze, with a pierced scrolling foliate apron centred by a female mask; on square sectioned, inverted baluster supports with beaded collar and acanthus scrolls; decorated with grotesque masks and husk trails, joined by X-shaped acanthus wrapped stretchers.  These are centred by a circular platform, headed by a flaming urn similarly carved with a grotesque mask, and terminating in turned feet.
