- Lot Description
Europe, Italy, Baroque period, 18th century CE. A rare, sculpted golden gilt console dating back to the mid-18th century, the Louis XV period. The top is in marble of "Breccia Pernice", used in northern Italy during the eighteenth century. This is supported by the base that consists of a rich basin and four carved legs presenting the typical move of Louis XV, "en cabriole"; all connected to the base by a pillar, which is also richly carved and gilt. Designed such that it fits flush against one wall with its ornately scalloped front extending into the hall or parlour of what certainly must have been a richly appointed home. Size: 49.8" L x 27.2" W x 35.5" H (126.5 cm x 69.2 cm x 90.2 cm)
This superb table was purchased by its former owner, the esteemed Mr. Allan Davis of Santa Fe, New Mexico in London at the renown antique shop of Sylvia Napier Ltd. on King's Road in 1993 for the sum of $19,652.
See a similar example at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City - accession number 1971.1.7a, b. About such 18th century Italian Baroque console tables, Wolfram Koeppe writes, "During the late Baroque period exuberantly carved furniture took on a sculptural appearance, reflecting the style's tendency to meld different arts into one complicated whole. Large console tables were an obligatory feature of the parade rooms of aristocratic palaces of the late seventeenth and throughout the eighteenth century. Often ordered in units of two or four, with matching mirrors and stools, such pieces helped to achieve the perfect symmetry of the intended stagelike interior." (Metropolitan Museum of Art, description for 1998.296)Repairs to center leaf on one short side and entire leafy area on opposite short side, with small chips and light adhesive residue along break lines. Legs and body have small nicks and abrasions, with several stable hairline fissures, and minor inactive insect damage in scattered areas. Marble top is resting atop body and is not attached. Great luster throughout.Condition
