A Fine Swedish late Gustavian Console Table, Early 19th Century attributed to Jonas Frisk (active in Stockholm 1805-1824).

Swedish 1810.

The inset Carrara marble top enclosed by a carved cyma recta (ogee) moulded edge above a silver-gilt frieze decorated with neoclassical motifs supported on spiral turned, tapering legs topped with gilt balls terminating on gilt feet standing on a faux-marble painted platform base.

It is particularly rare to see the combination of silver and gold gilding, far more common to find gold parcel gilt on a black ground. 

In excellent original condition.

Jonas Frisk (Swedish 1787-1849), was a Stockholm craftsman who in 1805 was granted the right to produce  mirrors and consoles by the Kommerskollegium. From 1810-1814 his workshop was located at the Storkyrkobrinken and his final location was at the Riddarhustorget from 1814-1825 eventually employing up 15 people.
