Catalogue Note
Un tavolo romano composto da una corazza e altri strumenti bellici, in una raccolta privata, è citato da A. Gonzàlez-Palacios in Arredi e Ornamenti alla Corte di Roma, Milano 2004, p. 100.
La corazza che centra il sostegno di questa rara console trova molteplici punti di contatto con le due corazze con elmo in legno scolpito, dipinto e dorato, in collezione privata, che A. Gonzàlez-Palacios data al secolo XVII-XVIII (op. cit., p. 100) mettendole in rapporto con la coppia di torciere della chiesa di S. Maria della Vittoria a Roma, nelle quali delle palme si intrecciano bizzarramente ad un'armatura, seguendo quasi alla lettera un progetto che Giovanni Giardini pubblicò in Disegni diversi, Roma, 1714 (vedi A. Gonzàles-Palacios, op. cit., p. 101).
