French 19th Century Parcel Gilt Wall-Mounting Iron Console

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 32 ¾” H x 54” W x 20 ¾” D

A French 19th century transitional wrought iron console with thick limestone top and parcel gilt decoration around the table frame to make an arresting statement in a foyer or entryway. The piece reflects several historic styles from Louis XV to Empire in coded language that signifies refined taste and luxury. At 2” thick the smooth beige stone is one slab, showing the characteristic striations of minerals and variation of pale earth tones intrinsic to natural limestone, shaped on the front to conform to the iron frame below. A gilded lion face punctuating the center of the apron is flanked by delicate foliate motifs in parcel gilt which scroll across the swells of the serpentine bottom edges. Cabriole front legs (technically the only legs) are marked with oval rosettes at the corners of the apron before transitioning to draped acanthus decoration in gilt where the legs bow outward. Note that the piece must be secured to the wall for stability. Please view the detailed images to see more of this phenomenal console table.
