LOUIS XV CARVED GILTWOOD PIER TABLE WITH CONFORMING MARBLE TOP
France, circa mid-to-late 18th century
Item # 405FKP22P

A gorgeous carved and pierced giltwood console table from the Louis XV period, it features a carved pine body with full shell motifs in the corners framed in opposing C-scrolls flanking a pierced rocaille in the focal point of the apron surrounded by cascades of swirling foliage over cabriole legs arranged in two parts: flowing inward and flowing outward in opposing c-scrolls terminating on scrolled toes.

The legs are firmly locked in place with a full stretcher that echoes the inspiration of the apron in its lobed shell, this time delicated surrounded by a naturalistic halo with outward flowing flowers on a vine mostly encircling it.

The top is a stunning piece of marble with wonderful variation throughout, the underside carved with an inset that perfectly matches the profile of the table and raises it before projecting over the edges. A medial cross-bar is dovetailed fore-and-aft into the frame and is stamped illegibly.

A fine presentation.


Measurements: 30 3/4" H x 14 1/2" D x 25" W

Condition Report:
Marble top appears to be original with perfect oxidization matchup; flaking and losses to gilding throughout, much with later inpaint and regilt, the surface presenting with a lovely well-preserved overall patina; holes drilled in the back bar in several areas where it has been mounted to the wall over the years; sturdy and very strong.
