18th Century Sicilian Marquetry Center Table – Inlaid Twelve-Sided Top with Swan Base, c. 1775
This extraordinary 18th-century Sicilian center table is a tour de force of Italian marquetry craftsmanship, featuring a rare twelve-sided top intricately veneered in walnut, burl, and fruitwood, and embellished with mother-of-pearl inlay. At the center, a luminous medallion is surrounded by a striking fish scale motif and framed by a refined, banded border, creating a dynamic sense of movement and balance.
Supported by an elaborate base of four scrolling, long-necked swans, this table merges sculptural elegance with decorative mastery. Originating from an important Sicilian private collection, it is an exceptional piece for collectors or designers seeking a statement antique rich in artistry, rarity, and Southern Italian heritage.
