Bidspirit auction | Italian table with winged griffins.

Italian table with winged griffins. Italian Neoclassical School. 21st century - Carved sandstone and mortar. Dimensions: 75 x 190 x 80 cm. Large-format table composed of a solid rectangular sandstone top with a rope-like molded edge, supported by a sculptural base decorated with facing winged griffins. The mythological creatures have leonine bodies, stylized wings, and heads in profile, integrated into a central structure of architectural inspiration reminiscent of the monumental supports of 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 moldings, as well as a skillful recreation of the stone textures and aged patina that 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 execution and the balance of proportions reveal a piece conceived to integrate seamlessly into prestigious architectural spaces, evoking models inspired by Greco-Roman antiquity and Italian ornamental tradition. Stylistically, the piece relates to the neoclassical language reinterpreted in contemporary times, recovering 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.
