Transition Style Console, 19th Century

Aleppo breccia marble top, girdle and uprights in gilded wood with neoclassical motifs of scrolling acanthus leaves, this console follows the codes of the Transition style. A few more flowers here and there and a large bouquet cascading from either side of an urn in the center of the spacer recalls its still tenuous links with the generous Louis XV style.
With its lion claw feet, the set in excellent condition is firmly seated and well drawn. And if this console is dated from the 19th century, it is undoubtedly the best of its kind, at that time, in historicist furniture, which was very popular.
