It reflects the artistry of its time: hand-carved details, rich gilding, and a marble top chosen for its veining and shape. Its serpentine marble top rests upon a frame of gilded wood, carved with acanthus leaves, scrolls, and floral motifs. The proportions are generous yet graceful, making it ideal for a hallway, drawing room, or salon. The softened edges, gentle wear, and mellowed gilding are hallmarks of age - proof of nearly two centuries of admiration and use. A Console That Reveals Itself in Layers Our high-resolution photographs invite you to study every detail - from the curve of the marble to the scrollwork of the legs. These close-ups form an essential part of the condition report, ensuring you can buy with complete confidence. Starting with the main image: the full silhouette. Note the serpentine marble top, its edge gently bevelled, its surface cool and veined. This is no flat slab; it’s shaped to echo the curves below. In the second image on the top row, the cabriole legs appear - carved with acanthus leaves that seem to unfurl mid-motion. Their scrolled feet anchor the piece with quiet confidence, as shown in the first image of the second row. Several images draw you into the apron - a riot of scrolls, foliage, and floral motifs. The carving is deep, but softened by time. Not crisp, but mellow… Not showy, but sure. The final image of the middle row shows the marble’s edge again, this time from the side - revealing how the stone meets the gilded wood with a kind of reverence. Other images echo this detail and are worth noting The first image of the bottom row shows a close-up of the top of the leg - revealing the lustre of gilding and the care given over time. There is just the correct amount of wear to indicate its great age, but no decline. The final image of the bottom row focuses on the central cartouche - an oval flourish surrounded by symmetrical foliage. It’s the heart of the piece, and in person, it catches the light like a secret. Styling Suggestions Imagine this console beneath a mirror in a hallway that welcomes with grace - paired with a vase of wild roses, a stack of handwritten letters, or a candle flickering in a glass hurricane. Its proportions lend themselves to layered styling: a gallery wall above, a woven basket beneath, or a single sculpture that echoes its curves. Whether in a Georgian townhouse or a modern apartment, it holds its own with quiet confidence. Sustainability Choosing antique furniture is both an aesthetic and environmental decision - preserving craftsmanship, reducing waste, and reusing materials that have already stood the test of time.
