French Restauration 19th Century Burled Walnut Console

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 35 ⅛” H x 29 ¾” W x 15 ⅝” D

A French Restauration style walnut console, circa 1840. The compact occasional table is animated by ripples of dark grain in the wood veneer, arranged to highlight the exciting movement and naturally occurring psychedelic patterns. A shallow apron houses a small drawer with working lock & key, providing inconspicuous but convenient storage for an entry console or drop area. The top section rises from two carved, scrolled legs at the front accented by white horn or bone applied to the eye of each coil. Flat planks at the back (to sit flush against the wall) enclose the mirror glass which is a modern replacement of a petticoat mirror. A low plinth base cut with a serpentine silhouette juts out slightly around each column, bracing the console structurally and creates another surface for display or storage. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images as there are several areas where the grain has lifted or split which have since been stabilized. One key included.
