Catalogue Note
G. Chiesa, Il Settecento, Görlich Editore, illustrates on p. 120, fig. 132, a Neapolitan console table (ex Accorsi Collection, Turin) whose carved frieze shows floral garlands virtually identical to the ones on the present lot. Another pair of Neapolitan console tables which show similarities is today at Palazzo di Capodimonte, Naples, and one is illustrated in M. Agnellini, Mobili italiani del settecento, G. Mondadori, p. 24.
