19th Century French Louis Philippe Period Burl Walnut Console Table

About the Item

A nearly 200 year old Period Louis Philippe (1830-1848) French burled walnut tiered console table. Born in France in the mid-19th century, hand-crafted of fine warm rich solid walnut, having a serpentine shaped bookmatched burlwood top with elaborate stepped molded edge, over conforming apron fitted with concealed frieze drawer with quality dovetail joinery, rising on gently curved supports joined by medial shelf with beaded trim, over shaped plinth base, resting on rounded feet. circa 1830s History: In the years following the French Revolution (1789-1799) and after the fall of Napoleon (1804-1814), aristocrats and the wealthy who had fled the country during the Revolution, returned, and quickly realized that their furniture and belongings had been confiscated, seized and sold, and they had little money to buy new expensive pieces. During the Restoration Period (1815-1830), King Louis XVIII (1815-1823) and King Charles X (1823-1830) issued reparations, so wealthy families were once again able to purchase high-quality furniture. The increasingly affluent middle class also sought well-made pieces, leading to a higher demand for French furniture. Many of these people, while wealthy, lived in small houses and apartments. Their need for pieces that fit in their homes resulted in ébénistes (cabinetmakers) to resume the tradition of innovative design, leading to pieces that are smaller in size, functional, and comfortable, such as this smaller scale wall console with storage. Dimensions: (approx) 34" High, 38.5" Wide 18" Deep A wonderful way to add sophisticated European antique character, elegant rustic warmth, and timeless classic style to any hall, wall, or entry! Condition: Great original antique condition with beautifully aged patina. Wear consistent with age and use, including minor trim loss. Delivered cleaned, waxed, with hand rubbed polished French patina, ready for immediate use and generational enjoyment!

Born in France in the mid-19th century, hand-crafted of rich solid fruitwood with warm wood tones, subtle grain detail, and nicely aged mellow patina over the whole.

Dimensions: (approx) 56.75" High 41" Wide, 17.5" Deep History/Back Story: Louis Philippe furniture had the same types and forms as the earlier French Restoration style, but with less decoration; comfort was the primary consideration. During the turbulent French Revolution and following Napoleon rule, Louis Philippe (1773-1850) remained in exile for 21 years until the Bourbon Restoration, when he became the King of the French from 1830 to 1848. For the first time, the developing upper class–not the monarchy–influenced the progression of this style’s characteristics. However, King Louis Philippe’s personality still inspired many aspects.  His casual nature reflected this style’s informal, comfortable build. Much of the style was taken from the personality of the King himself. Unlike his Bourbon predecessors, he wore business dress...
