A Louis XV Period Giltwood Console Table
A Louis XV Period Giltwood Console Table
marble top of serpentine outline with moulded edge, the rich ground of deep crimson and russet dramatically veined in white and cream; above a deeply carved and pierced frieze of exuberant Rococo character, centred by a large pendant coquille or fan shell of radiating form surrounded by scrolling acanthus, flowering branches and asymmetric rocaille cartouche ornament issuing further leafy scrolls to either side; supported on two boldly scrolled cabriole legs of C-scroll and acanthus-wrapped form, with outswept scroll feet; united by a shaped X-form stretcher centred by a pierced rocaille cartouche of conforming decorative vocabulary, the whole carved with exceptional freedom and élan and gilded throughout.
Possibly German, circa 1750
Acquired through David Jones Art Gallery, Sydney, in 1982.
