AN ART NOUVEAU WROUGHT IRON MARBLE TOP CONSOLE TABLE
Circa 1st quarter of 20th century
Item # 111CLJ03Q
Rich with texture and chaotic color, this wonderful selection of iron-work features a crafty construction that minimizes the use of welds in favor of pinned tenon joints. An angular and austere form, the marble top is plain with squared edges and only a slight projection over the simple lines of the console. Central to the design is the cast iron circular raised-relief pierced display of flowers and foliage. The console retains a very early paint in the texture, crevices and a handful of surfaces, but the majority of it has developed a natural patina from exposure to oxygen over the years.
Measurements: 37 3/4" H x 16 1/8" D x 53" W
Condition Report:
Remnants of the original paint, flaking and extremely worn; iron with rusted surface throughout; various spots of discoloration to the marble. Incredibly heavy and well-built.
