Pedestal table

This is a clear example of the so-called Neo-Gothic style, which began in Spain during the first years of the reign of Isabella II, around the 1830’s, under the regency of her mother Queen María Cristina. Its repercussion on furniture was scarce and coincides with a generalized return to the medieval world which was fashionable throughout the 19th century. From early times, medieval furniture was associated with the creation of a generally Romantic atmosphere. In this table, the medieval can be seen in the ogival arches and the columns of the waist, in the rosettes at the ends of the plinth and the garlands of the central upright, elements that remind us of the niches in altarpieces and stalls.
