Pair of French or Italian Gilded Marble Top Console Tables and Mirrors

19th century

Sold by James Ribbons Antiques

Description

For obvious reasons it has been impossible for me to show these very impressive mirrors and console tables in situ....as they measure over 12 ft high when assembled so for anyone interested I would strongly suggest that they come and view them as they are.

The winged figures support the shaped marble tops which in turn support the huge pine backed mirrors of which one is damaged at the base. However this can be overcome as the height of the mirrors could be reduced and therefore the damaged portion could be removed.

The mirrors are then supporting the sea serpents.

All pieces are of carved wood with some signs of the original gilding but I believe these have been re decorated at a later date.

Sorry if all this sounds a little confusing but serious buyers would be more than welcome to come and view these personally.

Delivery can be arranged.
