Gaspare Bassani. Important game table. Lombardy, c. 1790. Veneered, filleted, and inlaid in bois de rose, bois de violette, walnut, mahogany, natural and stained maple, and other woods. Top centered by octagonal reserve with perspective view of a garden around which are square and pentagonal folders inlaid with floral corollas and containing flowers and four panoplies with different subjects, all surrounded by two frames of plant shoots, the outer one interspersed with four allegorical figures within ovals. Single-drawer band decorated with concatenated circular motifs enclosing Allegories, foliate racemes, and Amorini@@@ connecting bundles of legs inlaid with classical male profiles. Shaped legs at the inverted cup attachment, tapered and enriched with minute inlays of successive leaves, attached to the connecting bundles by means of a large wooden screw, thus removable. The layout of our small table, the construction of the legs, the type and richness of the inlays, the very choice of ornaments and decorative motifs, are entirely identical to the only piece of furniture to date attributed with certainty to Gaspare Bassani, namely a card table dated 1789 and signed by this inlayer, from the Meli Lupi collection in Soragna (PR), which differs from ours only in the architectural subject in the center of the top. 90X90X79 cm Giuseppe Beretti, A game table by Gaspare Bassani@@ Manuela Sconti Carbone, Clues relating to the attribution of a corpus of furniture to Gaspare Bassani, in Antiqua new series, June 2023.
