Renaissance White Marble Top Grotesque Leg Console Table

This exceptional mirror originates from Lombardy, specifically the Milan area, and showcases a rare and stately design deeply rooted in the Late Renaissance or Mannerist tradition. Distinguished by its wide proportions and commanding architectural presence, the piece reflects the refined aesthetics of northern Italy during the late 16th to early 17th century. The elaborate giltwood frame features intricate carvings of floral scrolls, acanthus leaves, and putti, combining the ornamental richness of the Mannerist period with the structural gravitas of Renaissance design. The depth and fluidity of the carving, along with its polychrome and gilded finish, create a dramatic interplay of shadow and light. With its monumental scale and historic artistry, this mirror serves not only as a functional object but as a striking testament to the grandeur of Lombard craftsmanship and design heritage.
