Pair of Antique Painted Console Tables from Northern Italy, circa 1800

About the Item

These beautiful antique Italian console tables are painted in an old rose and ochre/gold, and when pushed together, form a lovely octagonal center table. The consoles are relatively plain in their structure: well-considered moldings, no drawers in the underframing, and elegant baluster shaped legs, connected by stretchers. This style of table first became popular in Northern Italy in the 17th century, with Bologna producing some of the finest examples. What sets these tables apart is their gorgeous polychrome finish consisting of old rose paint with light gold ochre moldings, bun feet, and painted motifs. The table fronts and sides are decorated with relatively simple designs, while the top is a wonderful, full size, complex design of scrolling foliation and Neoclassical arabesque forms. Use these tables in a hallway, or along the same wall flanking a fireplace. Or simply push them together to form a center table or entry piece.

Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved circa 1850 in the northern reaches of France, known as French Flanders, this oak console or “table a Gibier” has a lovely black bluestone top with white and gray veining. The 1 ½ inch thick top, which has an inverted quarter-round molding, is supported by four long, cabriole legs adorned with elements inspired by nature, such as roquillards, rosettes, floral and foliate margents, and hoof feet. Horizontal margents on the front belt are overshadowed by the elaborate embellishments below. A central carving depicts an Apolline mascaron set within an attenuated leaf wreath, evoking a sense of classical elegance. Below the medallion is a sprawling pierced foliate apron, which is also seen on the sides, but less grand in scale. The stretcher, as is customary with Regence-style furniture, has a modified, serpentine X-stretcher with a center rosette. Given the transitional nature of the Regence period in French history, our bluestone top console...

Early 18th Century Painted Italian Console Table with Rouge Royal Marble Top
Located in Dallas, TX
Console tables are beautiful, graceful tables that also serve a practical purpose. These tables are aligned against a wall, often between two windows and/or placed beneath a mirror. You might find accessories or artwork resting on the marble or wooden tops. During the Regence period, these tables would often be painted to match the colors of the wood paneling of the walls, indicating that this console table came from an opulent room. Hand-carved in Italy during the 1700’s, the wood has a lacquered white finish with gilded highlights. The rouge royal marble from Belgium has white and gray veining and light inclusions with a quarter round finish on three sides (like most consoles, the backside is typically left unpainted or raw – as this is the side that abuts the wall). Beneath the thick marble are four cabriole legs with pied-de-biche (deer’s foot...
