Presenting an exceptional pair of French Louis XVI giltwood console tables featuring exquisite Brèche Violette marble tops, an outstanding example of late 19th-century craftsmanship and architectural refinement. Measuring 36 1/4" high x 44 1/2" wide x 23 1/4" deep, these consoles embody the elegance, symmetry, and sculptural ornamentation that define the Louis XVI style—a celebration of classical proportion and antique-inspired decoration.
The carved giltwood bases display extraordinary detail. Each apron is adorned with deeply carved scrolling acanthus, floral garlands, rosettes, and neoclassical motifs, all executed with crisp precision. Graceful swagged garlands drape between the fluted, tapering legs, adding a sense of movement and classical romance. The legs terminate in carved toupie feet and are joined by an elegant stretcher centered by a beautifully modeled urn finial, decorated with floral festoons and classical motifs—an iconic hallmark of Louis XVI design.
Resting atop these sculptural bases are stunning Brèche Violette marble slabs, prized for their swirling lavender, rose, gray, and cream veining. The marble tops feature a molded edge and generous surface area, making these consoles ideal for an entryway, grand corridor, dining room, or formal salon. The combination of warm gilding and richly colored marble creates a luxurious palette suitable for both traditional French interiors and curated modern-classical spaces.
Perfect as statement pieces or functional display surfaces, this pair offers balance, symmetry, and timeless artistic appeal.
Condition: Age-appropriate imperfections include chips to the marble, staining to the marble surface, gilt loss, and evidence of previous repairs. These characteristics confirm the authenticity of the pieces and contribute to their antique patina without diminishing their structural integrity or decorative impact.
A rare and distinguished matched pair—ideal for collectors of fine French furniture and period-inspired interior design.
