Pair 19th Century Federal Eagle Carved Console Tables, Marble Tops, Solid Wood

About the Item

Pair of 19th Century Federal Eagle Carved Console Tables, Marble Tops, Carved Solid Wood These tables, with their elaborate boule inlays, sculptural eagles, and opulent materials, would likely have been commissioned for a prominent setting, such as a grand foyer or elegant salon, emphasizing both artistic design and symbolic national pride. They're valuable antiques with both historical and decorative significance. 34" High by 44" Wide 15.75 Deep Style and Period: Federal style, which was popular in the United States from the late 18th to early 19th century, is characterized by elegant, neoclassical design with fine craftsmanship, often incorporating motifs from classical antiquity and early American symbols. Boule Inlays: Boule, also spelled boulle, refers to intricate inlays of tortoiseshell and brass (or other materials) often used in French furniture-making. The boule inlays suggest high-quality detailing, contributing to the luxurious nature of the tables. Carved Eagles: The presence of eagles, particularly with wings spread, is significant as the eagle was a symbol of strength and freedom, commonly associated with the United States in the early 19th century. The eagles are carved in opposing directions, which could symbolize balance or symmetry. Rock Base: The eagles are perched on a "rock base," which could refer to a stylized, carved pedestal or support that mimics the natural form of a rock, possibly adding a touch of drama and grandeur to the overall design. Bracket Base with Gilt Border: The bracket base indicates a support structure typically seen in Federal or Georgian furniture, while the gilt carved border adds a touch of luxury, suggesting that the tables were designed for a sophisticated or high-status setting. Mirrored Back and Marble Top: The mirrored back enhances the visual impact of the console tables, creating a sense of space and light, while the marble top adds both opulence and function. Marble was a popular material for tops, combining beauty and durability. Rosewood Frame: Rosewood, known for its rich, dark color and fine grain, would complement the luxurious inlays and carved details. It suggests a high-end, quality frame that contrasts well with the gilt accents.
