Handsome Pair of Giltwood & Marble Console Tables

1920 - 1940
Description

This is a most impressive pair of hand carved gilt wood console tables dating from the early 20th century. The fabulous tables have a fine pair of griffin like creatures, one either end majestically supporting the substantial rouge marble tops. The exuberant style of the tables suggests an Irish origin, most likely from a grand hall. The Italian rouge marble surface has a most attractive colour and is wonderfully figured and in excellent order. The tables are a great size for a large hallway or a fine pair of alcove tables for a grand house measuring 120 cms wide, 94 cms high and 35 cms deep overall, the marble being 32 cms in depth.

UK insured hand delivery can be arranged with our careful courier and costs £100 plus vat to most areas.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Console tables gained prominence in 17th and 18th-century European interior design, originally crafted to attach directly to walls using brackets or carved leg supports. Often commissioned in pairs, they were positioned to display sculpture and decorative items in grand reception rooms and hallways.

Traditional giltwood furniture features hand-carved timber frameworks, commonly pine or lime, coated with layers of gesso and clay bole before gold leaf is applied and burnished. The surfaces are frequently topped with heavy slabs of marble selected for colour and decorative veining.

Authentic giltwood shows characteristic wear where gold leaf has rubbed away to reveal underlying clay bole or white gesso. Carved details display hand-tool marks rather than uniform mouldings, and the timber underside displays natural age-related shrinkage and patination.

A pair of console tables can be positioned symmetrically along an entrance hall or framing an architectural feature to ground a room. Juxtaposing gilded carved wood with contemporary artwork creates a balance between historic detail and modern aesthetics.

Giltwood surfaces require gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush, as moisture or liquid polishes dissolve water gilding. Marble surfaces should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth and dried immediately to avoid staining or etching the stone.
