A Simple And Elegant First Empire Console Table In Mahogany Veneer With Column-style Legs And Cherry-red Marble

A lovely First Empire-style living room console table in oak, mahogany veneer, and a red griotte marble top from the Pyrenees, veined with white. It rests at the front on two columns with bases and capitals of chiseled bronze, and at the back on flat columns. A beautiful classic from this period, both functional and decorative. It features a generous drawer set into the side panel, operated by a discreet key and tapering seamlessly into the side panel; at its base is a practical crossbar and plinth that reinforces the entire structure. Well-proportioned, understated, and easy to place, this “Neoclassical” piece of furniture checks all the boxes for a refined yet understated decor; the beautiful red top adds to its charm. This piece is sold as-is, straight from the château, and deserves special attention.
