Decorative 19th Century Silver Gilt Italian Console Table with Shaped Marble Top

19th century
For Sale by Loveday Antiques
Description

Decorative 19th Century Silver Gilt Italian Console Table with Shaped Marble Top

Italian circa 1880

Of sumptuous rococo form, this fine console table centres on an cartouche, surrounded by scroll carving. The combination of foliate detailing and fretted areas is highly attractive, as is the wonderfully playful "cloud-shaped" marble top which is original to the piece.

The top has a beautifully carved moulded edge and is a combination of mottled pink, brown and cream which works beautifully with silvered gilt base which along with the design suggests this console to be of an Italian origin.

The four legs on the table are joined together by an asymmetrical stretcher, echoing elements of the frieze above, and this is further evidence of the careful consideration that was applied to every aspect of the design and construction of this table. A highly interesting and unusual piece of furniture.

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.
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.
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.

Italian Rococo console tables from the 19th century are defined by expressive asymmetrical carving, C-scrolls, acanthus foliage, and cabriole legs. Designed to sit flush against wall spaces, these tables frequently feature silver or gold water-gilding over hand-carved timber and fitted, contoured marble tops.

These tables were typically constructed from softwoods or hardwood frames coated in gesso before fine silver leaf was applied. A protective varnish or lacquer was often laid over the leaf to prevent tarnishing, while carved marble slabbing provided a stable top surface.

Authentic pieces display natural signs of age, including fine surface cracking (craquelure) in the gesso, gentle oxidisation of the silver gilding, and hand-chiseled undersides on the marble slab. Timber joinery will exhibit period hand-sawing marks rather than modern machine cuts.

Position the console in an entryway, hallway, or drawing roomalcove. Contrast the ornate gilded carvings by hanging contemporary abstract artwork above the marble top, or balance the metallic sheen with simple ceramic vessels.

Dust the gilded carving gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding wet cloths which dissolve water-gesso finishes. Marble surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth and mild pH-neutral stone cleaner, avoiding acidic substances.
