Rare 18th Century German Glass Bead Decorated Centre Table by Michael van Selow
About the Item
Rare Rococo centre table from the famous workshop of Johann Michael van Selow. The rounded rectangular dished top with moulded edge and decorated with a mosaic made of glass beads depicting a bird seated in a branch framed by scrolling foliage, above a plain frieze, on cabriole legs. The brilliant colors of the unfading glass beads is a strong reminder of the vivid and cheerful colors of the Rococo period.
The Van Selow workshop:
One of the rarest and greatest technical achievements of the 18th century was German glass beadwork from Brunswick, with Johann Michael van Selow considered to being its finest craftsmen. Van Selow worked under the Royal patronage of Duke Carl I of Braunschweig. The factory was in existence less than twenty years (1755-1772) and few examples of this colorful beadwork exist. Examples of Van Selow’s work can be seen in the Städtische Museum in Braunschweig and in The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle.
