Antique TABLES AND STANDS About 1630-1730
Portuguese side table, panels from 16thC Spanish cabinet forming the top.
Until about 1640, Louis X111 style still late-Renaissance with elaborately turned legs – a feature surviving until end of century in provincial France and other regions, e.g.
Portugal. Simultaneously, dramatic Italian baroque spreads through Europe, expressed in sculptural supports for tables and stands for cabinets.
After about 1660, equally grand but more classically disciplined version created in France for Louis XIV – fewer scrolls, more vertical legs. Low stands (gueridons) and taller ones (torcheres) for candelabra carved to represent blackamoors or Nubian slaves – finest French walnut loichete on spiral stem.
Pair of Venetian Blackamoor torcheres, 17thC style, actually mid-19MC.
by Brustolon in Venice, 1685-96. Engravings of palace interiors published in Augsburg and Nuremberg show side-tables surmounted by mirrors, and grand centre tables in entrance halls.

Console table is fixed to wall and has leg(s) at front only. Small Venetian tables supported on upturned feet of blackamoor pageboys doing handstands.
Various designs for carved and scrolled feet, Turning: Baluster, bobbin, twist patterns.

German table on X-supports, before 1600.

In some, new interest in classical architecture reflected in columnar legs or end supports based on Roman marble types.
Both features seen in French Renaissance designs by Du Cerceau (about 1550 – shaped ends, decorated with mannerist monsters, and connected by row of turned columns.

Before 1600, trestles of Spanish tables made with turned members, attached to top with curved, wrought-iron stretchers. Peasant type with plain legs, crudely-made drawer under top – still being made in 19thC.
