Description: Fabulous Rococo walnut Victorian server attributed to
Robert
C. Renwick, Baltimore, MD. The top crest is beautifully carved
with a fox head in the middle. The top surface is richly figured walnut. Fancy
carvings and recessed moldings adorn the skirt. The front carving is
missing a small center embellishment. The legs have a dynamic
shape with
fluting and buttons around the base. The open carved curved
stretchers
support a superb carved basket of fruit in the middle. Renwick was
best
known for working in the Modern Gothic style. This piece has some
elements
of that style (recessed panels, etc) along with some Rococo ones
(basket of
fruit). A Victorian showpiece!
