Vintage French Louis XIV Style Gilt Wood Console
 
Large scale French Louis XIV style gilded console with faux marble top. This exceptional console is characterized by its classical architectural basic form with four square tapered baluster legs. The X-shaped stretchers, made of curving and scrolling lines, are decorated in the center with a sunflower. The main surfaces and the aprons are decorated with flat bas-relief. Acanthus, palmettes, foliage pendants and floral elements are articulated ornaments. The console is surmounted by a faux Verde Antico Marble top. The highly decorative table has carved and molded intricate relief decorations. Louis XIV furniture was predominantly massive and richly ornate. The thick embellishments on Louis XIV furniture are precise and symmetrical. The harmonious construction of the French Classicism balances rigidly and richness.
Condition is very good.
