ROMAN WORKSHOP 17TH-18TH CENTURY A carved and gilt wood wall table with support in the shape of a winged and bicaudata mermaid. . Cm 136,20 x 91,50 x 60,70. Provenance: Chigi collection, Ariccia; Private collection, Rome.Partially regilt.This Roman wall table was probably born as a support base for a showcase, as suggested by the shaped top and the compositional analogy with another illustrious example of the same type, the so-called Ottoboni Scarabattola, now preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ( inv. 1972.73): in this superb Roman princely furniture made at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a cloaked virile figure resting on a rocky base supports, between garlands of flowers that support the rear edges, the shaped top, as in the present version does the winged and bicaudata siren. Smaller in size and less elaborate than the Ottoboni model, this wall table is part of the group of sculptural furnishings of the last period of the Roman Baroque.Comparative literature: A. Gonzà lez-Palacios, "Arredi e Ornamenti alla Corte di Roma", Milan 2004, pp. 128-129.
