Baroque console tables from the late 17th century are characterised by exuberant carving, dynamic movement, heavy ornamentation, and a theatrical use of gilt wood designed to catch the light.

These pieces typically feature a carved soft-wood or hardwood frame finished with gesso and gold leaf, paired with a heavy inset marble top secured by traditional joinery.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-carved details, the presence of genuine bole beneath the gold leaf, historical tool marks, and the natural ageing of the wood and gesso.

A gilt wood console table functions effectively as a striking contrast piece in a minimalist contemporary room, or as a complementary accent within an eclectic or traditional scheme.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight and moisture, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and refraining from using chemical polishes that can damage the delicate gold leaf surface.
