About the Item

Ornately Carved late 18th Century Rococo giltwood wall table with red marble top. This table stands on two cabriole-style legs. with the rear apron needing to be fastened to a flat surface. A magnificent piece for use in any foyer, niche, etc. France was the first to witness the creation of the console table during the 17th century. It was first introduced as a small, ornamental piece of furniture with theatrical designs and fine, sophisticated details. Some of the console tables' origins also lie in Italian architecture and furniture design. It became an integral part of any room’s decoration and was found in almost every affluent household. Originally, console tables were shaped like a half-moon or a crescent affixed to the walls with the help of a curved bracket known as a ‘console.’ The brackets mainly served the purpose of supporting the tabletop. French architects gave these half-moon-shaped tables little legs in the front to make them appear free-standing. The King of France, Louis XIV, also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King, is majorly accredited for popularising the console table. That’s mainly because this beautiful piece of decorative furniture was a mainstay of the King’s royal courts and the Palace of Versailles. The fashion of grand consoles notably experienced a significant boost during the King’s reign, where these tables were designed in pairs and complemented by matching mirrors. Soon enough, console tables became a true embodiment of ‘Rococo,’ a uniquely theatrical and ornamental style of décor and architecture. This style mainly characterizes glides, curves, asymmetry, and serpentine lines. The Rococo style first gained massive success in France, after which its popularity spread in England and different parts of Europe.
