This sumptuous console table in mahogany and mahogany veneer, dating from the early 19th century, embodies the grandeur of the Empire style and the influence of the taste for ancient Egypt that marked this period. It is a rare piece, both decorative and historical.
The console's uprights slope gracefully downwards, giving it a slender, balanced silhouette. At the top, two finely sculpted caryatids add a striking sculptural presence. Each is highlighted by an eye-catching gilded bronze star. The lower section features small carved feet in blackened wood.
The inset drawer features a diamond-shaped keyhole. This is accompanied by a key, with a perfectly functional lock. Bronze trimmings at the top corners add refined detail.
The console is crowned by a superb Carrara white marble top, whose luminosity contrasts magnificently with the deep warmth of the mahogany.
This exceptional piece will find its place in a classic interior, a collector's salon or a prestigious hall. Its authenticity and quality craftsmanship will appeal to antique enthusiasts.
