Object Description
A richly sculpted centre table with dolphin-form legs, claw feet, and a pierced stretcher, exemplifying the Milanese Renaissance Revival style. The top features geometric and floral bone inlay framed by scrolling arabesques, reflecting the influence of workshops such as Francesco Speluzzi or Giovanni Bosi, active in Milan’s elite decorative arts scene. Crafted circa 1875, this piece marries classical allegory with 19th-century romanticism—an embodiment of Italian salon culture and sculptural virtuosity
