EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable Micromosaic tabletop from late 18th century Rome. Crafted by the talented artist Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836), or attributed to him, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 78x85x67 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The tabletop features an elegant combination of mosaic, ormolu-mounted ebony, and satinwood. Intricately decorated with mille-raie bands, the oval top takes center stage with its central inlay depicting a goldfinch and a ground finch perched on a branch adorned with peaches. Surrounding this stunning centerpiece are delicate flower borders, garlands, butterflies, and octagonal panels showcasing urns. What makes this artwork even more extraordinary is the North European stand made of ormolu-mounted ebony and satinwood that perfectly complements the mosaic design. The hexagonal stem boasts brass boss detailing while the tripartite base stands gracefully on sabre legs fitted with brass caps featuring sunken castors. Every inch of this masterpiece exudes ornate beauty and meticulous craftsmanship. The attention to detail in creating such intricate patterns using tiny tiles is truly awe-inspiring. This Micromosaic tabletop serves as both functional furniture and decorative art piece—a testament to the skillful hands that brought it to life centuries ago.
