About the Item

A Handsome Testament to Brazil’s Colonial Splendour Late 18th / Early 19th Century Crafted at a time when Brazil’s inland villas and coastal sobrados were flourishing with new artistic languages, this exceptional colonial dining table embodies the sober elegance and structural purity of the late 1700s to early 1800s. Made in solid hardwood—dense, time-softened, and richly patinated—it reflects the restrained yet dignified craftsmanship that defined the period, when Portuguese traditions met local materials and Brazilian artisanship reached remarkable refinement. The tabletop, composed of wide planks framed by a mitered border, exudes an aristocratic simplicity. Centuries of gentle wear have enriched its deep, warm tone, creating a surface with presence and soul. The splayed legs, connected by a low stretcher, speak to the pragmatic rural architecture of Minas Gerais and interior São Paulo, where furniture needed to be sturdy, functional, and handsome in its austerity. The carved corbel brackets beneath the top add a discreet decorative touch—a nod to the Baroque influence still lingering in Brazil during the period. Perfect as a dining table, console, or statement piece in a refined interior, this table is not merely a utilitarian object—it is a survivor of Brazil’s formative years, when plantations, missions, and merchant houses shaped the cultural landscape. Every mark and shadow of patina narrates its long life in colonial estates, where it likely served as the centre of family meals, administration, and daily ritual. A rare and authentic piece of Brazilian history, carrying the poise, gravity, and character of its age. THE ORIENTAL BOWLS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE.
