Verona Lamp Table

Description

The Verona Lamp Table has unique square balusters for legs and egg carving on the apron. The earliest examples of balusters were found in bas-reliefs representing Assyrian palaces where they were employed as window balustrades. As an architectural element the baluster did not seem to have been known to either the Greeks or the Romans. Application to architecture was a feature of the early Renaissance. Late fifteenth century examples are found on balconies of palaces in Venice and Verona. Outside Europe the baluster appeared as a new motif in Mughal architecture, first seen in Shah Jahan’s seventeenth century fortress palaces – the Red Forts of Agra and Delhi. The Verona Lamp Table Base is bench-made entire by hand. A skilled craftsman starts with the finest hard wood and transforms it into a thing of beauty. It then passes on to another craftsman who hand applies a multilayer finish of the client’s choice. The table base can be used with a cast stone or wood. Cast stone is available in a variety of stone colors and wood tops are offered in various stains. This side table is designed for use in upscale residential and hospitality interiors. Its wood carving is done entirely by hand. Custom sizing is available. It was designed by Shah Gilani, ISFD.
