Console Carlo X c.1830, Piemonte

Solid walnut and walnut veneers, top surface in golden travertine.  This is an unusual piece, as it is fashioned in a style that is a transition from the clean, simple lines of the Carlo X to the more decorative Luigi Filippo style.  Most notably, this can be found in the leg carvings, which include reverse curves, sunflowers, and an unusual fishnet pattern combined to create a pleasing, but not overpowering decorative element.  A substantial piece that includes a discreet drawer with hidden pulls, all supported by substantial lion’s paw feet. 

Measure: 53.5 x 23.6 x 37.4

$3000.
