"Lyra Console, And Mirror , Imitated Porphyry Top And Gilt Wood, Empire Sweden , Circa 1830"

Rare console table with imitated porphyry top and its original mirror with lyra, rope and intertwined ribbon motifs.
These pieces of furniture were very popular in Swedish palaces and residences upon the accession of Charles-Jean Bernadotte to the Swedish throne.
They recalled the grandeur of the Empire and pleasantly compensated for the semi-darkness of the Nordic winter with their brilliance.
Always made of carved wood, without bronze, the Carl-Johan Style was largely inspired by the French Empire with its mythological themes: lyres, sphinxes, griffins, winged angels, etc.
