Amazing scagliole pedestal table signed by Philip Della Valle depicting an eagle holding a bunch of arrows, an American flag without stars, surmounted by 24 stars and a motto in its beak: “E pluribus unum” that can be translated as ” Many in one “. The Swiss painter Pierre-Eugène Ducimetière will represent the unification of the first 13 colonies. This motto was regarded as that of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed a law (H.J. Resolution 396) adopting “In God We Trust” as the official motto. The 24 stars represent the 24 states of the United States of the time which precisely dates the table between 1821 (entry of Missouri in the union) and 1836 date when the 25th state, Arkansas enters the union. The base is a Classic walnut pedestal table Empire. Note some scratches and alterations on the board.
