Circa 1850 Provenance
Crafted in Northern France during a golden age of furniture making, this console carries over 170 years of history and European elegance.

Hand-Carved Oak Majesty
The entire oak body is a canvas for intricate, hand-executed carvings. Discover motifs inspired by nature, including delicate roquillages (rockwork), rosettes, and lush floral and foliate margents that adorn the cabriole legs and apron.

Striking Bluestone Top
The console is crowned with a substantial 1.5-inch thick black bluestone top, featuring elegant white and gray veining. It is finished with a refined, inverted quarter-round molding, adding depth and sophistication.

Mythological Central Motif
The front belt is dominated by a central Apolline mascaron (a mask of the sun god Apollo), set within an attenuated leaf wreath. This classical element is a testament to the piece’s noble inspiration and artistic ambition.

Elaborate Pierced Apron
Beneath the mascaron, a sprawling and beautifully pierced foliate apron showcases the woodworker’s virtuosity. This delicate openwork is repeated on the sides, creating a cohesive and dynamic visual effect
