The giltwood and gesso base is a true testament to the era's craftsmanship, showcasing an intricately carved frame with striking central 'C' scrolls and scrolling foliage details. The table stands on elegant cabriole legs, adorned with finely detailed acanthus leaf carvings at the knees and feet, adding to its charm.

Adding to its provenance, the table retains an original trade label from a historical framer and gilder linking it to its C19th origins.

Condition wise the table remains in original condition, displaying the natural wear and patina expected with age, giving it a genuine antique character. While there are minor losses in places, particularly in some of the gesso 'C' scrolls where they are formed around iron wire, these details are largely intact and do not detract from the table's overall appeal. For those who appreciate antiques with a story to tell, this piece retains its historic authenticity.

A functional and decorative antique console table that would make a perfect addition to any interior, blending seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings. See less
