Console Table
A console table
First Quarter, 20th century, Manila
Narra
82 x 123 x 47.5 cm (32 1/4 x 48 1/4 x 18 3/4 in)
The serpentine-shaped, groovings, and rounded corners of the top are echoed by the curvy lower components of the table. While the front frieze that holds the drawer is kept simple, there’s abundant carvings, scoops and etchings of flowers, foliates, C- and S-scrolls on the side frieze, posts, knees, legs, the elaborate x-stretcher and the cuffed feet.
These are design elements popularized by English Thomas Chippendale (b. 1718), as interpreted and adapted by Filipino artisans. An elegant-looking table bolstered by the interlocking grain and shiny lustre of narra wood.
Estimate: PHP 45,000 - 50,000
Lot 174 of the Salcedo Auctions auction in November 2018. Please see www.salcedoauctions.com for more details.
