18th Century Régence Period Giltwood and Sienna Marble Console, circa 1720-1725

About the Item

A regence giltwood console table was created in approximately 1720-1725. The later Siena marble top above a pierced carved frieze is decorated with floral swags, the bust-headed scrolled legs with wings are joined by a conforming X-stretcher with four carved dragons. The reverse side with a paper label has an inscription '994' in blue crayon, the inside back rail has an inscription '380' in white paint. Dimensions: 32 in. (81 cm.) high, 53 in. (135 cm.) wide, 26 in. (66 cm.) deep This table design evolves from the Louis XIV Roman fashion appropriate for a marble sideboard 'buffet' and its frame is embellished with a lozenge-trellised mosaic recalling the coffering of Rome's Temple of Venus. With its distinctive truss-scrolled pilasters, this pier-table reflects the influence of the painters of King Antoine and Pierre Le Pautre, such as featured in the latter's Book of Tables published in Paris shortly after 1689. This work illustrated a series of giltwood consoles used to display the King's magnificent collection of silver. Related winged dragons to those on the stretchers of this console appear on the cresting of a trumeau from the corner cabinet of the Hotel Peyrenc de Moras. Constructed in 1723 by the architect Gabriel with the boiseries carved by Jules Degoullons and Andre Legoupil in 1724, these boiseries are now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, a gift of J. Pierpont Morgan.
