French Louis XV Style Marble Top Gilt Console Table

19th century
Description

Super quality and well proportioned late 19th century French water gilt Carrara marble top wall mounted console table, circa 1880.

Very decorative with the shaped sweeping legs and foliate mouldings, raised on hoof feet. The original water gilding has mellowed beautifully with age and is in great condition.

The thick and shaped Carrara marble top contrasts perfectly with the gilt base, being a neutral tone with a charcoal figuring.

Wall mounted so you don’t have any legs to the front corners getting in the way, just needs a secure wall to be fitted to.

The wall fittings are supplied.

Measurements:

30 3/4 inches or 78 cm high

37 3/4 inches or 96 cm wide

20 inches or 51 cm deep

Tom Scott Antiques has dated this Louis XV Gilt Console Table to the 1880s.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Red clay bole visible on high points: traditional water gilding worn by handling.
Cross-hatched ground behind relief foliage: late nineteenth-century workshop practice.
Hand-softened edge on the thick grey-veined marble: traditional masonry techniques.
Pierced central stretcher joining sweeping legs: characteristic French Rococo revival carving.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This late 19th-century French Louis XV style wall-mounted console table originates from 1880. Comprising a thick, shaped white Carrara marble top with charcoal veining, it rests on a heavily carved water-gilded gesso base in gold. The ornate frame displays elaborate Rococo C-scrolls, acanthus leaf carvings, sweeping cabriole legs ending in hoof feet, and a prominent central cartouche motif. The original water gilding shows mellowed signs of age with subtle surface wear. Measuring 78 cm high, 96 cm wide, and 51 cm deep, the table includes supplied wall fittings for installation. In a modern interior, this piece sits neatly beside the front door as a decorative surface in a hallway, offering an elegant focal point beneath a mirror or artwork while maintaining an open floor space underneath.

FAQs

Louis XV style furniture from the mid-18th century Rococo period is recognised by light, asymmetrical scrollwork, flowing cabriole legs, and intricate motifs inspired by nature, foliage, and shells.

These tables are typically crafted from carved softwoods like lime or pine, coated with gesso, finished with gold leaf gilding, and fitted with shaped marble slabs on top.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-carved construction, natural surface wear to the gilding or underlying gesso, hand-saw marks on timber undersides, and period-appropriate iron or wooden fixings.

Position the console table against an entryway or hallway wall beneath a large wall mirror or contemporary artwork to balance classic ornate detailing with clean modern architectural lines.

Dust giltwood surfaces gently with a soft dry brush, avoiding liquids or chemical cleaners that degrade gold leaf, while marble tops should be wiped clean with a neutral stone cleaner.
