About this work

Table of white-painted lime wood with four legs placed diagonally, constructed from two superimposed C-scrolls. The legs are decorated with acanthus leaves and, at the back, with pearl strings. At the bottom is a dog, at the top a snake. The flat connecting rail shows a standing acanthus leaf at the front, in front of which is a double coat of arms (each with a cow's head and bar) amidst two putti. At the bottom a floral garland, which splits into two on the legs. Marble top.
