Description

There are four uprights with beast-like feet set over a mixtilineal burl veneered top. The feet in front are curved and carved woth leaf-like spirals and the heads of monstrous animals. The nails and teeth are made of horn, while the eyes are painted; the uprights in the back are inlaid with carob tree wood. Those support the under-the-top band, veneered in feather. The white marble top supports a tilting mirror supported by four lion-like feet, with nails in horn and carved with leonine faces. The big shell in the centre and a pair of dolphins complete the structure of the console.
