Each semi-circular top is painted to simulate Carrara marble, articulated by faint radiating segments in the manner of a sunburst or fan. A moulded edge sits above a shallow frieze with a continuous bead-and-reel (pearling) ornament. The bases stand on three square-section, tapered legs of attenuated proportion.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pair retains its original grey-blue painted surface, with natural attrition revealing the pale ground beneath. The finish reads as a uniform silvery grisaille, with a mature, natural patina.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe grey-painted, pearled demilune is a canonical expression of the Gustavian idiom—the Swedish interpretation of French Neoclassicism that developed under Gustav III following his Italian journey of 1783–84. The slim square-section tapered leg, restrained bead-and-reel frieze, and preference for grey-blue and stone-toned painted finishes over gilding or veneer are hallmarks associated with Stockholm court workshops of the 1780s and 1790s, notably those of Johan Christian Linning and Ephraim Ståhl.","brand":"The Vault Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54663302873410,"sku":"2876","price":3024.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/9271\/8658\/files\/12siqtr_jpg.jpg?v=1782091687","url":"https:\/\/bazaa.com.au\/products\/pair-of-gustavian-style-demilune-side-tables-with-a-faux-marble-top-1","provider":"Bazaa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
