Parlor table

Unknown

middle of the 19th century

The parlor table is part of the current furnishings of the Baroque salon of the Murska Sobota Prekmurje Museum. It is made of several types of wood (oak, rosewood and poplar veneer). The table top is decorated with four bouquets of flowers painted on porcelain. The porcelain insert on the wooden panel was hand painted. The bouquets (roses, peonies, dahlias, daisies) are characterized by precise lines and naturalness. One of the flower petals shows the sign of the painter Guerou and the year 1852. The gilded decorations on the table top and legs are made of metal.

Specialist description

Salonska miza na štirih nogah "en cabriole", ki se iztekajo v širok obod, ima močno vzvalovljen rob mizne plošče, poudarjen z reliefno kovinsko obrobo. Obod in noge so obložene z okrasno zloženim furnirjem z motivom dveh svetlejših prepletenih trakov in stiliziranega vitičastega ornamenta na temni podlagi. V prerezu trikotne noge so pri zoženem dnu obute v kovinske škorenjce v obliki elegantnih volut, iz katerih raste reliefni kovinski trak, ki poudarja zunanji rob nog (zgornji odlomljeni del žal manjka). V obod je vstavljen širok in globok predal, ki je tudi v notranjosti skrbno furniran z lesom atlasovega drevesa (ali mahagonija?), na najmanj vidnem hrbtnem delu pa s topolovim furnirjem. Glavni okras mize so na plošči v palisandrov furnir vstavljeni vložki iz porcelana s štirimi naslikanimi cvetličnimi šopki, ki jih odlikujejo izredni naturalizem in plastičnost, naravne barve in natančnost risbe. Na enem izmed šopkov (vrtnic, potonik, dalij, ostrožnika, ivanjščic in drugih) je na cvetnem listu podpis slikarja (Guerou) in letnica 1852. Verjetno gre za Pierrea Josepha Guerouja, slikarja na porcelan, ki je bil rojen v Parizu in je v Salonu med 1849 in 1865 razstavljal predvsem cvetlične slike.
