WALNUT GATELEG TABLE, “CLAW AND BALL” LEGS, 19TH CENTURY.
Decorative Antiques - Furniture
Reference: Z0485
Walnut winged and claw-foot table, 19th century. The rectangular table stands on four eagle-shaped legs holding balls, with a drawer and two folding tops (from which the name of this type comes). The decorative simplicity of the work is due to its creation as a primarily functional piece of furniture, although the characteristic use of decorative elements from different traditions can be seen, something common in 19th-century art. The legs are very common in 18th-century English examples (“claw and ball” with a cabriolet leg) and the wood from which it is made is the most common in Spanish furniture.
