Description
Italian table with winged griffins. Italian Neoclassical School. 21st century Carved sandstone and mortar. Dimensions: 75 x 190 x 80 cm. A large-format table comprising a solid rectangular sandstone top with a rope-like moulded edge, supported by a sculptural base decorated with facing winged griffins. These mythological creatures have lion-like bodies, stylised wings and heads in profile, integrated into a central structure of architectural inspiration reminiscent of the monumental supports found in Italian gardens and villas. The composition combines functionality and ornamentation, highlighting the contrast between the geometric surface of the top and the rich decoration of the base. The carving demonstrates meticulous attention to detail in the wings, claws and mouldings, as well as a skilful recreation of the stone’s textures and aged patina, which reinforces its historical appearance. From an iconographic perspective, the griffin has traditionally been a symbol of vigilance, strength and protection, becoming one of the most prized motifs in classical and Renaissance decorative traditions. The quality of craftsmanship and the balance of proportions reveal a piece designed to blend seamlessly into prestigious architectural spaces, evoking models inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity and the Italian ornamental tradition. Stylistically, the piece draws on the neoclassical language reinterpreted for the contemporary era, reviving monumental forms, mythological references and a sense of permanence associated with decorative garden sculpture. The result is a table of remarkable visual presence that combines architectural elegance, classical symbolism and ornamental refinement. Always include the dimensions: 75 x 190 x 80 cm.
