Louis XVII Style Console Table

Louis XVII Style Console Table

The Louis XVII Style Console Table features an Indian Pietre Dura  “Inlayed” Marble top.  The top rests on a canted frieze in solid American Walnut fitted with a single hand dovetailed drawer.  The whole is raised on two bent laminated Walnut supports that are fastened at the waist with bands of Cocobolo Rosewood.   The table terminates in a U shaped canted plinth. The table is in a hand rubbed oil finish.

 

 

 

 

The Louis XVII  style attribution is based on my interest in the 20c  Cuban/French Architect Emilio Terry.  Terry’s imagery concept of what Architecture, Design & Decoration in France would have become if King Louis XVI would have passed the crown to his son the Dauphine.  Instead of the 19c French Empire style brought forward by the Emperor Napoleon’s rule.  The marble top was purchased by my clients and the table was developed to fit their requirements.
