About the Item
More information coming soon…
Hand-carved circa 1850, the form of this bleached drop front secretary commode is distinctly Dutch (more specifically from what used to be Holland). The undulating and protruding sides sit atop wonderfully carved paw feet. Three tiers of drawers are aligned neatly beneath a drop-front writing section. When the writing surface is pulled down, the interior drawer system is revealed with a hidden compartment, a lockable door, and nine pull-out drawers.

Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-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...
