Fine English Mid 19th Century Rococo Revival Giltwood Console Table with Breccia Marble Top
A well-proportioned mid 19th century English giltwood console table in the Rococo Revival taste, dating to circa 1840–1860. Of elegant small scale, the table retains its original shaped breccia marble top above a finely carved and pierced frieze, centred with a decorative cartouche.
The base is formed of bold cabriole supports with scrolling acanthus and foliate carving of good depth and definition, united by a shaped stretcher incorporating further carved detail. The carving displays the characteristic movement and asymmetry associated with the Rococo Revival, executed with confidence and restraint.
The original water-gilded surface displays a pleasing, mellow tone with light wear revealing the red bole beneath in places, adding warmth and character. The marble top is well figured with attractive colour variation and a shaped serpentine front, sitting well with the proportions of the b
...ase and almost certainly original to the piece.
A refined and highly decorative console table of very usable size, offering strong visual impact and increasingly difficult to find in this proportion and quality.
