About the Item

We kindly invite you to read the full description, as it provides detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our pieces. This elegant and refined French console table is crafted entirely from walnut wood. The top features a beautifully contoured shape, while the supporting border is adorned with exquisite hand-carved floral decorations . The rounded side sections display symmetrical fluting, also carved and gilded. The front legs, with a circular cross-section, taper gracefully downward and are embellished with long fluted grooves. The rear legs, which rest against the wall, have a rectangular cross-section and are also fluted. These are connected by a long stretcher, which in turn is linked to the front legs through elegant curved elements, creating a fluid and harmonious design that ensures both stability and structural integrity. A particularly noteworthy detail is the finely sculpted and carved central knob decoration on the back stretcher. This element is flattened on the back to allow the console to sit flush against the wall. This console table was crafted between 1770 and 1775 by a master cabinetmaker in an artisanal workshop in Bordeaux, a major city in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Bordeaux was renowned for its thriving furniture trade with England and boasted a tradition of producing elegant, well-crafted pieces that ranged from the Louis XV style to Neoclassicism, with a strong emphasis on fine woodworking. The original finish featured a white lacquer, created using natural pigments and layers of gesso and glue, which were then smoothed and protected with transparent varnishes. Over time, the varnish has naturally aged, as visible in the photos. However, we have not carried out any restorations to preserve the piece’s original character, avoiding alterations that could compromise its historical authenticity. The aged patina is an added value, highly appreciated in today’s interior design world. The Louis XVI style emerged in the late 18th century and is characterized by a neoclassical design with clean lines, classical ornamentation, and an overall refined aesthetic, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Louis XVI furniture often features fluted legs, rosettes, and geometric motifs. This exceptional console table is a true work of art, a testament to the craftsmanship and sophistication of the 18th century, and an embodiment of the timeless elegance of the Louis XVI style. The gracefully contoured top rests on a finely carved structure, highlighted by fluted legs and exquisite detailing. Time has bestowed this piece with a unique patina, enhancing its period charm and authentic character. Perfect for enhancing a classic setting or creating a sophisticated contrast in a modern space, this console tells a story of exceptional craftsmanship and enduring beauty. A rare find that will captivate collectors and antique enthusiasts alike. Pieces that bear the marks of time tell a story and add personality to interiors. The console is in the condition clearly shown in the photos and described in detail. Dimensions: Length: 127 cm (50 inches). Depth: 38 cm (15 inches). Height: 74 cm (29 inches) For all our shipments, we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) to ensure maximum protection and security.
