An Early 20thC Italian Polychrome Painted Pedestal Centre Desk c.1920Origin: North ItalianPeriod: Early 20thCProvenance: UnknownDate: c. 1920Height: 30 (the kneehole at 24)Width: 59Depth: 30 (all at extremities)The beautiful polychrome painted pedestal desk, the decoration in the late eighteenth century neoclassical manner and the shape and form of the late nineteenth century, in an ivory coloured ground, the top painted with a central harbour scene within cornucopia and italianate foliate black tablets, the flanks

with fur hair

A very pretty table and one with a very interesting background

playing on the unnerving psychological presence of a figure that was realistic

it has taken on a beautifully natural and decorative tone with many parts of the paint worn through to the stone

the whole with a pierced brass repousse armorial fret engraved GRIMAUX

the legs picked out in green

A good maker in the Howard style would have made this sofa and the quality of the frame make it nigh on as good as a Howard stamped armchair but without the eye-watering price tag

lying flat on his face

The Largest: Height: 31

about a month after his birth on the 13th April 1864

unusual to see a heron being depicted in this way

the picture looks to have been cut down from a larger composition
