FRENCH LOUIS XVI CARVED WHITE-PAINTED PARCEL-GILT CONSOLE TABLE WITH VIOLET MARBLE TOP
Circa late 19th century
Item # 306YPZ14Q

A wonderful late 19th century carved console, the table notably retains the original and positively stunning violet marble top with chaotic veins of cream, pink, gold, burgundy and rust running throughout. It is shaped to conform with the overall demilune curvature of the console with small step-out projections over the leg rosettes and the central motif.

This is a complex display featuring a quiver full of arrows surrounded by flowers and naturalistic foliage while a single bow crosses in the background. It retains an old but likely not original white-painted surface throughout with lovely part-gilded accents. The four tapered and fluted legs are locked together with a curved stretcher that is beautifully molded with the same relief repeating water-leaves framing the panels throughout the apron. They culminate in a circular display of draped leaves surrounding a central fruit finial.

An incredibly sleek and striking piece, crisply carved and beautifully finished, this is a very fine acquisition that goes well both in the antique/traditional interior as well as more modern settings.

Measurements: 34 1/4" H x 18" D x 68 3/4" W

Condition Report:
Original marble top with an old restored crack down the center - the crack has been restored several times, most recently in our shop with a color-matched epoxy resin. It is now sturdy and stable (with iron rods on the interior), but because it has been repaired numerous times, we recommend the top remains set on the frame and that it is not lifted off for transport or movement. White paint is probably later, appearing to be old but not original. Loss of applied decoration to the front right foot; a few other spots of loss, chipping, wear, joint gaps, etc. A very fine piece, ready to place immediately.

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
We offer economical and speedy freight service for most locations in the lower 48 States via the major LTL freight carriers. Delivery is generally 5-10 business days after packing is complete for the East Coast and 15-20 business days after packing is complete for the West Coast. Rush service is available so just contact us for a quote if there is a project deadline.

The Process:

The item is professionally packaged by our in-house team, palletized and shipped on a tractor trailer. Packing happens on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays so if your purchase comes through on a Wednesday, it may not be packed until the following Tuesday depending on our packing schedule.
We release the palletized shipment to the LTL freight firm and upload tracking information to your order
Once the freight has made it to the terminal nearest to your home, the dispatch team will notify the buyer and schedule a delivery day.
The buyer is then required to make the necessary arrangements to receive and inspect the goods. Some freight firms will offer a delivery window while others will require the buyer or a representative for the buyer to be available the entire day. Please note, drivers are never allowed to call the buyer to update them on an expected delivery time, though it may be possible for the buyer to call the terminal and get a rough idea on updated timing throughout the day.
On delivery day, the tractor trailer will arrive at the residence and the truck driver will lower the palletized shipment to the nearest curb with a lift-gate where the buyer will then be responsible for bringing it into the home, unpacking and disposing of the packing materials. If you require a higher level of service (i.e brought up the driveway and into the garage, brought into the entryway of the home, etc.) just contact us for a quote.
