18th Century French Mahogany Console Table

An Exceptional 18th Century French Mahogany & Brass Console Table. A particularly fine late 18th century French mahogany console table of elegant proportions and high quality. The rectangular marble top is enclosed by a finely pierced brass gallery above a single frieze drawer, with shaped ends and extensive brass mouldings and detailing throughout. Raised on four finely fluted mahogany supports with unusually well-detailed brass capitals, collars and mounts, terminating in shaped legs with brass feet. The quality and extent of the brass work sets this example apart from the more commonly encountered consoles of this type, with particularly fine detailing to the gallery, legs and feet. There is a slight hairline crack in the marble that is barely visible and been there many, many years. It certainly never stopped us buying a table of this quality.
