Important Giltwood Wall Console, Louis XV Style – Mid-20th Century

A beautiful wall console table brilliantly embodying the decorative exuberance of the Louis XV style. Crafted from giltwood, it is distinguished by its molded and undulating top, with chamfered front corners that emphasize the fluidity and grace of its lines. The richly carved apron is adorned with large, finely chiseled scrolls and volutes, centered by a stylized shell, a classic emblem of the Rococo repertoire, surmounted by a flower. This abundant decoration evokes nature in motion, so dear to 18th-century aesthetics. Resting on two pronouncedly curved feet, the console reveals a carving of acanthus leaves and scrolls, terminating in small, curled feet that reinforce its airy and refined character. A recessed stretcher, adorned with a central carved motif, elegantly connects the feet. Through the richness of its ornamentation and the quality of its gilding, this piece captivates the eye and embodies French decorative art in all its splendor. It will enhance a classic interior or add a touch of opulence to a contemporary setting.********Period: Mid-20th century. Very good condition.
