18th Century, Styles, 18th Century

Description: A lacquered wood console table, crescent-shaped, resting on four exquisitely fluted legs, typical of the late 19th-century Louis XVI style. The slender base lends the piece a rare elegance and excellent visual lightness. The frieze is richly decorated with foliage, stylized heads, and finely carved and gilded neoclassical motifs, punctuated by subtly integrated blue cameos. The original lacquer, in a delicate pale green, has a soft and balanced patina, highly decorative without being excessive. The wooden top, with its faux marble finish, realistically imitates a hard stone, adding contrast and refinement to the whole. The balanced proportions, the quality of the carving, and the understated tones make this console a highly distinguished decorative piece, easily integrated into both classic and contemporary interiors. Dimensions: Width: 96 cm Depth: 43.5 cm Height: 92.5 cm Location: Monaco History & Context This console originally came from a small château in Burgundy, where it occupied an elegant passageway, likely a vestibule or reception room. At first glance, it captivates with its lightness and refinement. Nothing heavy, nothing ostentatious: its charm lies in the subtlety of its lines and the softness of its polychromy. It is interesting to note that at no point is it immediately identifiable as an 18th-century piece. This visual modernity allows it to integrate perfectly into both a period home and a beautiful Parisian apartment, adding a strong decorative touch without historical rigidity. It is an elegant, decorative, and easy-to-live-with piece that I highly recommend for its versatility and timeless appeal. Condition: Some minor losses and scratches visible on the patina of the tabletop. Restoration planned by the workshops of Galerie De Cicco. Firm, non-negotiable price: €3,000.
