Piedmontese Louis XIV Console Table In Lacquered And Gilded Wood With A Chinoiserie Top
An important Piedmontese console table of exceptional craftsmanship, made in Turin in the early 18th century, during the period when the Louis XIV style was in vogue in the courts and noble residences of Piedmont.
The piece stands out for its rich structure of finely carved, lacquered, and gilded wood, characterized by a refined ornamental repertoire consisting of volutes, plant motifs, acanthus leaves, and exquisite openwork elements—a testament to the high level of craftsmanship achieved by Turin’s workshops at the time. The curved, sculpted legs are connected by an elaborate, contoured crossbar featuring a central element in the shape of a flaming vase, lending the piece as a whole a striking visual balance and a sense of formal lightness.
Of particular interest is the original top decorated in the chinoiserie style, a testament to the European fascination with Eastern art that characterized aristocratic taste in the early 18th century. The decorations, executed according to the models then in vogue at European courts, further enhance the piece’s value and rarity.
The sumptuous gilding, combined with the exquisite quality of the carvings and its prestigious Turin provenance, makes this console a significant example of high-status Piedmontese furniture from the Louis XIV era.
A piece of great charm and rarity, intended for collectors and prestigious settings, capable of perfectly embodying the elegance and magnificence of the Piedmontese aristocracy of the early 18th century.
