18th Century, Italian Naples Baroque Carved Wood Console
About the Item
18th century, Italian Naples baroque carved wood console
This console made of richly carved and gilded with “Mecca” wood, is a characteristic example of the decorative repertoire widespread in Naples in baroque cabinet-making around the first half of the 18th century, Louis XIV period, with elements of particular sumptuousness in the sculptural resolution of the carving.
The console has a sculpted band with elements with large vegetable volutes of rocaille taste and a rich shell carving on the central part. The four legs are characterized by an arched movement and a curly foot. The wood has a gilding silver leaf finish. The mecca process is a type of gilding performed on silver leaf to assume the appearance and the preciousness of the gold leaf. Mecca is a paint from the ancient recipe that was jealously guarded in the shops. It involves the use of sandracca rubber and gutta rubber in alcohol, dragon blood and other ingredients that, in mixture with each other, contribute to the different chromatic elements of the mecca.
The top, moulded and lacquered in fake marble, was replaced in the 19th century.
In the important Italian palaces between the 17th and 18th centuries 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 highly decorative furniture is still today of great scenic effect and contributes to the majesty of every room that hosts it.
The warm color given by the Mecca finish makes this furniture bright, graceful and very decorative, easy to fit in contexts of antique furniture but also modern.

Baroque Gilt Wood Console Table, Southern Germany 18th Century
Located in Belmont, MA
This original 18th century Baroque console table stands out for its finely carved gilt wood details. It is the perfect little eye catcher for a smaller entryway. If you are looking for an eclectic mix of antique and new, you could easily add a contemporary painting or mirror above it,
This exquisite little console table derives from Southern Germany. It shows the typical features of the 17th-18th century baroque design vocabulary. Consequently acanthus leaves and scrollwork embellish its otherwise symmetrical structure.
It comes in original condition with the expected wear and tear and some retouches from earlier restorations and measures H 29.53 x W 25.99 x D 13.78 inches (H 75 cm x W 66 cm x D 35 cm).
During the 17th century, the Baroque style had a marked effect upon furniture design throughout western Europe. Large wardrobes, cupboards, and cabinets had twisted columns, broken pediments, and heavy moldings.
The Baroque style was adopted in the Low Countries in the 1620s and extended late into the 17th century, when Germany and England began to develop it.
In southern Germany the French influence on furniture design was more prominent than in the western or northern parts, where Dutch and English styles were predominant.
