A richly carved Italian giltwood console in the Louis XV manner. The rectangular top is painted to simulate green marble within a gilt border, above a deeply pierced apron of scrolling acanthus and flowers centred by a bearded mask. It stands on fluted, tapering legs headed by carved capitals and ending in scrolled feet. The gilding has a warm, burnished depth. A classic hall or drawing-room piece, made to sit beneath a mirror.
