This incredibly elegant and stately freestanding Louis XVI console table dates to the 19th century and features immaculately hand-carved wood. The piece sports cylindrical fluted legs with a number of contours and details. At the base, each leg is brought together by a beautiful urn topped stretcher hosting a flame. Following the piece upwards, the legs connect to a magnificent apron with a classic Louis XVI design, in this instance an impressive reticulated open weave. The piece is hand-painted with gold leaf in its entirety. Finally, resting atop the apron sits the original contoured Carrara marble.
