About the Item
Walnut and marble table
North of Italy, 17th century
Wood and black marble
H 80,5 x L 114 x P 58 cm
This elegant table features a one single solid marble top directly mounted on four "Lira" shaped legs in baroque style. The walnut legs have a mixtilíneo cut, based on incoming and outgoing of great dynamism and decorative sense. Beautiful plateau in deep black marble with a fine grain, speckled with white fossil remnants and traversed by veins. The brightness and depth of the black and the contrasts with the white lend a special elegance and sophistication to this marble.
This table is an excellent example of true Italian craftsmanship.
Beyond their practical use, tables also held symbolic significance. In an era when furniture was a reflection of one’s social status, owning a table made of fine wood and marble was a clear indicator of wealth and sophistication. These tables often occupied prominent positions within a room, serving as focal points that demonstrated the owner's appreciation for art and fine craftsmanship.
The enduring appeal of this 17th century table is a testament to the skill of the artisans who created them and the timeless nature of their designs.

- Cerberus, Italy, 17th CenturyLocated in Bruxelles, BECerberus Black painted stone Italy, 17th century Measures: 80 x 69 x 36cm (one head missing) Cerberus, cruel monster, fierce and strange, Through his wide threefold throat barks as a dog Over the multitude immers'd beneath. His eyes glare crimson, black his unctuous beard, His belly large, and claw'd the hands, with which He tears the spirits, flays them, and their limbs Piecemeal disparts (Dante, Inferno, Canto VI). Cerberus figure seated, in his role of ferocious guardian of the underworld; he shows a nervous musculature, an adherent skin which reveals the ribs, long and robust limbs; his heads are broad and the eyes set well apart. Painted in black to amplify his menacing look, the infernal guardian is depicted with his famous attributes, writhing his heads, growling and barking furiously. Cerberus, in Greek mythology, was the monstrous watchdog of the underworld – also known as the “hound of Hades” – preventing the dead from leaving, and making sure that those who entered never left. A child of Typhon and Echidna, he was part of a monstrous family, which included Orthus, the Lernaean Hydra, and the Chimaera as well. Only on three occasions Cerberus was tricked by visitors of Hades: Heracles did it with his strength, Orpheus with his music. In "The Inferno", Dante places Cerberus as the guardian of the third circle of Hell. With his three mouths, Dante saw Cerberus as a beast that was synonymous with the sin of Gluttony. Virgil gets past the monster by throwing mud in his three mouths, temporarily choking him. Very rare are the representations of Cerberus in ancient statuary...Category
