Antique French Louis XIV Style Gibier Table in Carved Oak, circa 1870
About the Item
This amazingly detailed oak and marble table à gibier (game presentation table) hails from France, circa 1870, and was produced in the Louis XIV style. Although the table was created in the late 19th century, it incorporates elements that are even older than that.
Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, absolute monarch over France in the late 1600s, had an appreciation for a style of art and design that would reflect his importance. Furnishings created during his period are unencumbered by design constraints and exhibit rich and bold decoration. One piece of furniture that appeared during this period is the Gibier table or French game table. These tables are typically marble-topped and would stand against a wall as a presentation piece. Game was to be presented before cooking to the guests of honor
Our gibier table has a deep rouge marble with white and gray veining throughout and canted edges. The apron below is carved on three sides, while the back side has been left uncarved, indicating this table would be placed against a wall. The carvings on the front side apron include a diaper pattern of lozenges, flowing acanthus leaves, and an elongated shield-shaped cartouche. The two side aprons have very similar carvings, but each panel has a pull-out drawer. The shoulders of the three carved sides have joints of foliate rosettes.
There are four intricately carved baluster feet that have volute knees with scallop shell and acanthus carvings towards the bottom. Beneath the shells are highly detailed ball and claw feet. The front two legs are carved all the way around, while the rear legs are carved on all sides except the back. Beneath these are block feet with floral motif. A shapely serpentine X-stretcher merges in the center with a large floral rosette.
This French console table, with it’s rectilinear shaped baluster legs exudes an important stance and is complimented by a plethora of delicate and well executed carvings of floral motifs and unique ball and claw feet. You can use this lovely table as a console table in just about any room of a house.

- Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850Located in Dallas, TXHand-carved circa 1850 in the northern reaches of France, known as French Flanders, this oak console or “table a Gibier” has a lovely black bluestone top with white and gray veining. The 1 ½ inch thick top, which has an inverted quarter-round molding, is supported by four long, cabriole legs adorned with elements inspired by nature, such as roquillards, rosettes, floral and foliate margents, and hoof feet. Horizontal margents on the front belt are overshadowed by the elaborate embellishments below. A central carving depicts an Apolline mascaron set within an attenuated leaf wreath, evoking a sense of classical elegance. Below the medallion is a sprawling pierced foliate apron, which is also seen on the sides, but less grand in scale. The stretcher, as is customary with Regence-style furniture, has a modified, serpentine X-stretcher with a center rosette. Given the transitional nature of the Regence period in French history, our bluestone top console...Category

- Antique French Wrought Iron Railing Console with Shellstone TopLocated in Dallas, TXOriginally a balcony railing, this salvaged antique iron has been repurposed into a magnificent console table with a shellstone top. The railing was salvaged from a French building that was constructed in the late 1800’s. A two-inch-thick cream stone with white inclusions surmounts the painted green ironwork. The stone, which features a stunning display of shell and coral trace fossils, has been carved with a thin beveled edge. Directly beneath the stone is a row of repeating geometric shapes joined by pierced circles. The pattern is a larger open circle followed by a horizontally aligned open rectangle. Small roundels join the rectangles to the horizontal bars above and below. On the other side of the lower bar is a second row of repeating shapes, this time vertical rectangles followed by larger rectangles with incised corners and an inset elongated oval. Once again, the open ironwork is joined by pierced circles and roundels. On each end is a scrolled section that blends subtly into another geometric motif. This recently converted wrought iron railing...Category
