18th Century, French Louis XVI Carved Giltwood Console

About the Item

18th Century, French Louis XVI carved gilt wood console This elegant wooden console finely carved and golden, fully represents the taste that was established in France in the second half of the eighteenth century, in the Louis XVI era. The half-moon furniture has a marble top Broccatello of Spain. The band below has refined carvings with gilded decorations of Louis XVI taste plant-shaped of classical inspiration, inscribed in elegant frames and reserves. The four legs, which evoke tapered and grooved columns of classic taste, have capitals in composite style composed of ionic volutes and acanthus leaves. The legs originate from the under mount band from a nut centered by a stylized rosette. They are then joined at the bottom by two crossbars, one linear and another semi-circular on whose meeting point rests a flowery vase with traps in the shape of a moray eel. In the important noble palaces the consoles were among the most sought after furnishings, emblem of the wealth of the client, to show off in the large halls of representation. This type of furniture, small and highly decorative, is still today of great scenic effect and contributes to the elegance and sophistication of any environment that hosts it, whether modern or antique.

  • 18th Century, Pair of Italian Neoclassical Lacquered and Giltwood Consoles
    Located in IT
    18th century, pair of Italian neoclassical lacquered and giltwood consoles This pair of consoles was made in the second half of the 18th century in the neoclassical era, in Naples (Italy) The carved and lacquered wooden consoles are composed of two half-moon tops lacquered with fake jasper. The band below the floor is sculpted in the ways of Classic grooved friezes, lacquered with light color and gold. The four legs are also grooved lacquered and golden and end in quadrangular feet. These consoles are very elegant and refined for the simplicity of their line and color. Consoles with two shelves are also quite rare. These allow greater flexibility in their use: in fact, in the lower shelf it is possible to expose, for example, vases with flowers, porcelain, books or other decorative objects in addition to what is placed above or offend the ability to lighten the top floor from too many objects. For their small size and especially for the particular depth of the floors, very narrow, and for the distinctly decorative character, these consoles are easily inserted in any environment. They are in fact perfect in the entrances or in the corridors, in a living room or a study, exposed in pairs or individually. The light color also makes them pleasant next to antique and modern furniture.
