A very fine Italian painted faux marbre and parcel-gilt console table, Genoese late 18th century

with a rectangular Spanish brocatello marble top, above a recessed frieze with a band of leaves above an alternating band of bellflowers and leaves with bearded male term front supports faced with lion's masks suspending oak leaves, the rear tapering pilasters similarily applied with lion masks and laurel leaves, on a faux bleu turquin plinth base

The sophistication of the decoration of this table with its faux marbre painting cleverly reflects the tones in the Spanish brocatello marble top.
