The original French Empire consoles that inspired this are among the highest tier of collectible console tables. The timeless elegance commands attention with an intensive attention to detail. We imagine this table is a museum copy of an original you'd on the tier of a collection like Versaille or Chateau sur-Mer in Newport. This console is absolutely dripping on Ormolu with magnificent full bodied figural swan columns and 4 fabulously cast hairy paw feet. The serpentine front is further decorated with water leaf and drapery ormolu. The center has an inlaid burl walnut panel encompassed by variegated inlay. The back is mirrored with an ormolu liner. This console has one center drawer decorated with ormolu bell-flowers and two heavy brass rosettes. The green marble top is shaped and has a molded edge. It reminds us of the malachite you'd see on the very finest period french pieces. This is a large console measuring 52 1/2" wide x 18" deep x 40" tall.
