This large French console table dates from 1870 in the French Rococo style, constructed from wood with a marble top, finished in gold leaf and cream paint. The serpentine marble top sits above an elaborate apron decorated with deep acanthus leaf carving, scrollwork, and a central cartouche. The frame rests on sculptural cabriole legs terminating in scrolled feet, accented by detailed gilt embellishments over original cream paintwork. Original water gilding shows a naturally mellowed appearance across the carved wooden surfaces. Dimensions measure 86 cm high, 173 cm wide, and 48 cm deep. Suitable as a statement piece in a hallway, dining room, or living room, the table requires wall mounting for stability. The surface provides adequate space for displaying a pair of lamps or decorative objects, typically paired with a large mirror hung directly above on the wall.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, Louis XV style console tables are characterised by Rococo influences, including asymmetric scrollwork, acanthus leaf carvings, cabriole legs, and contoured marble tops designed to sit flush against a wall.

These tables were typically crafted from hand-carved hardwood or softwoods, layered with gesso, and finished with gold leaf gilding or paint, topped with shaped marble slabs such as Carrara or Rouge Rance.

Authentic period examples display signs of hand-tooling on the wooden frame, natural wear revealing red or grey clay bole under the gilding, unpolished rough-hewn marble undersides, and traditional pegged joinery.

An ornate console table can be placed in an entryway or hallway paired with minimalist contemporary artwork or a simple mirror above to create a balanced contrast between historical craft and modern design.

Giltwood surfaces should be dusted gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water or solvent cleaners which dissolve gilding layers, while marble tops require immediate wiping of spills and cleaning with pH-neutral solutions.
