This antique table from France features an oblong-demi shaped white marble top (with shallow squared stepped out accents above each leg) which rests upon a nicely-carved apron and flower head medallions at each knee. The table is presented upon four fluted and tapering cylindrical legs, with acanthus leaf wrapped carvings just beneath their upper perimeters, that terminate into peg style, floral carved feet. The legs are braced with a pair of carved cross-stretcher bars, which are adorned at their intersecting tops with a neoclassical-carved urn finial with floral garlands gently cascading out of each side. The table has been scraped to its original color. The marble top is older but not original. Note that some alterations have been made to the front feet for leveling purposes. Also the marble has a faint stain (see images for further details). We recommend having this piece attached to the wall by a professional contractor, to ensure stability and security because there is a slight wobble. This 18th century Neoclassical French console, with white marble top and light finish, will be an elegant addition to your entryway, living, or dining room space. See less
