EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the late 18th century - a Micromosaic tabletop found in Rome. Created by the talented artist Giacomo Raffaelli or attributed to him, this exquisite masterpiece measures an impressive 78x85x67 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The tabletop is a harmonious blend of mosaic, ormolu-mounted ebony, and satinwood. Its ornate design features mille-raie bands that adorn its surface, while the oval top takes center stage with its intricate inlay work. At the heart of this stunning creation lies a scene depicting two beautiful birds - a goldfinch and a ground finch perched on a branch adorned with peaches. Surrounding them are delicate flower borders, garlands, butterflies, and octagonal panels showcasing elegant urns. The hexagonal stem stands tall with brass accents and boasts impeccable craftsmanship. The tripartite base adds stability to the structure with sabre legs gracefully supporting it. Brass caps fitted with sunken castors complete this magnificent piece. Every detail of this micromosaic tabletop speaks volumes about the skill and dedication put into its creation during that era. It serves as both functional furniture and an awe-inspiring decorative item for any discerning collector or admirer of fine art. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate the beauty and intricacy of this rare gem from history's treasure trove.
