Attributed to Adriano BRAMBILLA (1829–1885). An exceptional, dynamically shaped console table decorated in the so-called “Humbertian” style, made of blackened molded wood, ebony, and wood veneer. The centered top, depicting Apollo’s Chariot, features a rich decoration of rosettes and geometric motifs in mother-of-pearl and bone inlay set within alternating panels outlined by light-colored wood fillets. The eight freestanding, crook-shaped legs echo the alternating bone inlay pattern and terminate in two stepped bases supported by ball feet. Northern Italy, 19th century.
