In the centre of the band, on one of the sides, there is a drawer with a small circular metal handle, probably made of wrought iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table rests on a baluster-shaped body via a central pivot. The urn-shaped upper part is decorated with carved and gilded festoons in relief, and fluting; the base ends with a square knot, decorated at the corners with foliate feet within a scaled ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with the top, the octagonal base features complex multi-level moulding, decorated with carvings similar to those on the band, resembling knurling or &#8220;leaf&#8221; motifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the small table presents an elegant and solid appearance, with great attention to detail and decoration, suggesting it was probably used as a valuable piece of furniture, perhaps in a drawing-room or study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"s1\">Central Italy, beginning of the 16th century<br>cm 82 height, cm 111 diameter<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1291,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[57],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3037"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3037"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=3037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
