PAIR OF LOUIS XV GILTWOOD CONSOLE TABLES
Continental, circa late 18th century
Item # 307PAN13W 

A striking pair of carved giltwood Rococo period console tables with an undulating curvature in the gentle serpentine of the Breccia Medicea marble tops that follows through to the body of each. These gorgeous stones are characterized by hues of violet and include a simple molded edge. Each apron is naturalistically carved and decorated with rocaille elements, these centered around a pierced shell focal point with the typical motifs that are built around numerous iterations of the opposing C-scrolls, these captured most boldly in the upper curvature of the legs. The legs are individually and uniquely carved with floral representations and are locked in place with a brilliantly developed stretcher featuring a large curving shell wrapped in acanthus flowing out along the molded legs.
