Antique French
Consoles
You are viewing in this
section of our online catalogue a big collection of our
Antique French consoles in French style Regency , Empire
, Louis XV , Louis XVI and Rococo. I hope the photos do
these pieces some justice, it's certainly more impressive in
the flesh. The detail and ornamentation is incredible,
especially when you consider this was hand carved. The
mirror comes apart from the consoles but obviously
these were designed as a set and match perfectly.
It's hard to know where to start when describing these such
is the wealth of detail. The mirrors has an ornate frame
which has been gilded to give it that lovely gold finish.
there are lots of shells and curves to the designs,
alongside leaves, rosettes, arabesques and other flourishes.
To the top centre is the big shield.
May be at the either side of the mirrors two shelves for
displaying vases or perhaps candles. The glass is clear and
blemish free.
