This elegant Baroque console was made in the early 18th century, during the Louis XIV period. Called "a ¾", it has particular dimensions, as it is slightly lower than traditional consoles, favoring its placement. Its wooden structure is entirely lacquered and gilded. The top, wider at the back and with a slightly curved and gilded profile, is lacquered in faux marble with an ocher reserve. The under-top band, equipped with a drawer, ends with a carved mixtilinear profile with a very decorative gilded edge characteristic of the Louis XIV era. The legs are arched and curved, carved with gilded phytomorphic motifs. The particular feet are decorated with carved and gilded volutes and acanthus leaves.
The contained dimensions and the delicate curved line of its profile make this console very decorative and easily integrated into any furnishing context. Very beautiful presented in a living room or entrance hall, it can be supported by an antique mirror or painting, antique or modern. It can also be used to display vases, clocks or candlesticks. The gold and light coloring make it suitable both next to antique and modern furnishings.
