Return From Egypt Console In Mahogany, Empire Period – Early 19th Century

This sumptuous mahogany and mahogany veneer console table, dating from the early 19th century, embodies all the grandeur of the Empire style and the influence of the taste for ancient Egypt that marked this period. It is a rare piece, both decorative and historical. The uprights of this console table taper gracefully towards the bottom, giving the whole a slender and balanced silhouette. In the upper part, two finely carved caryatids bring a striking sculptural presence. Each is highlighted with an eye-catching gilt bronze star. In the lower part, we find small carved feet in blackened wood. The drawer in the belt is decorated with a diamond-shaped keyhole. The latter is accompanied by a key, with a perfectly functional lock. At the upper corners, bronze fittings enrich the whole with refined details. The console is crowned with a superb white Carrara marble top, whose brightness contrasts magnificently with the deep warmth of the mahogany. This exceptional piece will find its place in a classic interior, a collector's living room or a prestigious hall. It will seduce antique lovers with its authenticity and quality manufacturing. ***********Period: Empire, early 19th centuryPerfect condition after restoration in our workshop.
