This French Rococo console table originates from the late 18th or early 19th century. Made of giltwood and marble in gold, pink, and ochre colours, the piece has a rectangular shape with a shaped edge and a bright surface. The design includes acanthus leaf carving, C-scrolls, a central bird motif, a carved coiled mythical dragon, and a figured marble top. Measuring 70 cm high, 67 cm wide, and 43 cm deep, the table fits a narrow wall space in a home today as a decorative console. The structure includes carved shaped supports, a rear upright support, and a rear lateral rail with holes for fixing to a wall. The marble top displays an historic repaired break that is barely visible from above. The gilded wood surface shows bright patina from re-gilding approximately 50 years ago, and the table remains structurally sound and strong with no losses or damage.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century France, Rococo giltwood console tables were designed to attach to walls, featuring asymmetrical C-scrolls, foliage, and naturalistic motifs topped with decorative carved marble slabs.

These pieces were typically carved from softwoods like lime or pine, coated with gesso, covered in gold leaf gilding, and fitted with regional French marbles such as Breche dAlep or Rouge Royale.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved joinery on the structural frame, natural wear or oxidisation to the water-gilding revealing red or grey bole beneath, and hand-cut unpolished marble undersides.

A carved giltwood console table functions well in a hallway or foyer beneath a contemporary mirror, balancing classic architectural detail with minimalist surroundings.

Giltwood surfaces should be gently dusted with a soft dry feather brush while avoiding water or solvents, and marble tops require neutral pH cleaners to prevent etching or staining.
