Catalogue Note
Questa coppia di consoles ad angolo può essere messa in rapporto con alcuni tavoli da parete eseguiti per i Doria Pamphilj, conservati nel Palazzo di famiglia e illustrati da A. Gonzàlez-Palacios in Il Mobile in Liguria, Genova 1996, p. 173, figg. 202-203.
Questi tavoli sono inoltre un esempio dell'uso genovese di impreziosire l'arredo con piani in marmo incorniciati da un ciglio in bronzo dorato, eseguiti a Roma.
I piani della nostra coppia di consoles sono impiallacciati in verde antico cavato presso la città di Atrace in Tessaglia e che nella antica Roma fu tenuto in grandissimo pregio per la sua bellezza e rarità.
