An exceptional pair of mid-19th century Italian carved Blackamoor pedestal tables, richly decorated in polychrome and gilt, exemplifying the craftsmanship and ornamental exuberance of circa 1860 Italian design.
Each table is supported by a finely carved and expressive Blackamoor figure, depicted in a graceful stance and adorned in elaborately detailed attire with hand-painted polychrome decoration. The figures are crowned with scalloped tabletops, resting above their heads in the traditional manner, creating both a sculptural and functional composition.
The bases are intricately carved with scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and classical elements, enhanced by original painted details and luminous gold leaf accents. The contrast between the dark-toned figures and the gilded ornamentation creates a striking visual presence.
