Italian Empire Mahogany and Parcel Gilt Console with Mirror, Carrara Marble Top
About the Item
This exquisite Italian Empire period console table with mirror, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century (1790-1820), exemplifies the grandeur and refined craftsmanship of palatial furniture from this period, a work of art that has graced the halls of nobility for over two centuries.
Crafted from rich mahogany wood, this imposing yet elegant piece features hand-carved gilded details and a stunning Carrara marble top, making it a true masterpiece of Italian cabinetmaking.
The console's design perfectly balances sophistication with restraint, showcasing the hallmark characteristics of Empire style furniture. Its relatively shallow depth allows for versatile placement, while the sculpted elements and gilded accents add a touch of opulence.
Each gilded detail - from the intricate acanthus leaves to the delicate rosettes - represents countless hours of painstaking work by master artisans whose skills have largely been lost to time.
Its generous proportions (H.100cm, W.148cm, D.48cm) command attention without overwhelming, making it the perfect centerpiece for your entryway, living room, or dining area.
The table rests on decorative bulbous feet at the front and bracket feet at the back, providing both stability and visual interest.
The front legs are adorned with flat column-like structures, each embellished with an applied wooden strip. These decorative elements feature intricately carved and gilded details, including a vase motif at the base, a palmette frieze, and foliate designs at the top. The crowning glory of each leg is a deeply carved and gilded large acanthus leaf, a classic motif in Empire style decoration.
The apron of the console is beautifully enhanced with two large hand-carved and gilded wooden leaves, centered by an elegant rosette. This central decorative panel adds depth and visual interest to the piece, drawing the eye and highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship.
A unique feature of this console is the circular shelf connecting the front and back sections, providing an additional surface for displaying decorative objects or storing items discreetly. The back panel is crafted from solid mahogany, ensuring the piece looks beautiful from all angles.
Complementing the pier table is a matching mirror, featuring the original mercury glass from the period. The mirror's frame echoes the console's design elements with an inner gilded acanthus leaf border. The upper rectangular section is enclosed by an acanthus leaf frame and showcases three exquisitely carved and gilded palmette inserts with scrolls, acanthus leaves, and acorns, surrounded by delicate rosettes.
This stunning set offers the best of both worlds - a magnificent pairing and two versatile standalone pieces.
This Italian Empire console table with trumeau mirror is in excellent condition, a testament to its quality construction and careful preservation. It would make a stunning addition to any refined interior, serving as a focal point in an entryway, living room, or dining area. The piece not only offers aesthetic appeal but also represents a valuable investment in fine antique furniture.
What sets this piece apart is not just its impeccable condition, but its ability to transport you to an era of unparalleled luxury. Hosting a dinner party?

Italian Black and White Carrara Marble Mosaic Tiles with Florentine Monuments
Located in Firenze, IT
In the present work small handcut tiles of pure white Carrara marble are the background of this interesting contemporary mosaic which represents one of the most celebrated landmark in Florence.
The facade of the church of Santo Spirito (Holy Spirit), designed and built by Brunelleschi, is created with precious beige-colored Botticino marble tiles and surrounded by a frame of small black glass glazed paste tiles.
Carrara and Botticino are among the most famous Tuscan marbles that’s why the local mosaic artist and craftswoman- who creates this superb work of art- decided that the mosaic featuring the most important symbol of Florence should be made of these materials.
To make the composition more interesting, two different types of Carrara marble were used: the statuary white marble is matte and the white Carrara marble called "zuccherino" (sugary) is more sparkling. The random alternation of these two marbles give a pleasant vivid and three-dimensional effect to the entire mosaic tile.
Each small rectangular and squared tesserae are hand cutted and each one of these mosaic is one of a kind. The mosaic plaque has a wood panel as support and the tile is housed in hand painted giltwood frame.
The tile on sale and immediately available now is 15x15 cm and reproduces the church of Santo Spirito (Holy Spirit)- as you can see in the main image- but many other mosaic with the most important symbols and monuments of Florence are available as the Old Bridge, Santa Maria Novella, Florence's Cathedral with the Brunelleschi's dome or the Lily symbol of the city and so on, as showed in the photos.
