AN ITALIAN CHERRYWOOD, BRONZED, PARCEL-GILT AND SCAGLIOLA INSET CENTER TABLE
Scagliola is a technique employing plaster and pigments to replicate the look of costly marble or pietra dura. In the present example, the scagliola is used to evoke a classical nostalgia with niches of romantic, exotic ruins and marble urns centered on the three graces, an oft-seen motif in Greek and Roman sculpture, as well as later Renaissance paintings such as the one by Raphael (executed 1504-1505), now located at the Musée Condé in Chantilly.
