"Gilded Wood Wall Console – Serpent Model – Bedel & Co. Workshop, Paris"

Dimensions: H. 91.5 cm – W. 48 cm – D. 24 cm

Period: Circa 1850–1880

Style: Neo-Empire

Magnificent wall-mounted console in carved and gilded wood, originating from the BEDEL & Cie Garde-Meuble, a renowned 19th-century Parisian furniture house.

This rare piece features exceptionally fine Neo-Classical ornamentation: egg-and-dart frieze, beading, rosettes, foliage, and above all a remarkable pair of intertwined serpents, meticulously carved — an ancient symbol of wisdom and protection.

The console stands on an elegant support decorated with spiral serpents, topped with a central pine cone — another motif borrowed from antique iconography — and ending in a turned toupie-style foot.

The original gilding shows a beautiful, authentic patina.

A rare piece, inspired by prestigious models of the First Empire, typically destined for high-standard Haussmannian interiors.

Former Parisian Garde-Meuble BEDEL & Cie (original label preserved).
