EXTENSIBLE TABLE
Walnut wood.
Typical example of encounter between the Renaissance of the Liguria area, influenced by models from central Italy, and the style culture of southern France. A linear constructive structure is combined with strictly decorative motifs as the repetition of a balustrade that unites the crosspiece to the underside of the top, the carved base stretcher with leaf motifs, the four inverted pegs on the corner of the table.
Genoa, early 17th century
