This distinguished pair of Louis XVI mahogany console desserts exemplifies late 18th-century French craftsmanship, marrying refined design with practical elegance. Characterised by their balanced proportions and classic Neoclassical lines, these console tables would have graced distinguished interiors during the transition from the Rococo to the restrained sophistication of the Louis XVI period.

Date: Circa 1800

Material: Mahogany, grey mottled marble, gilt brass

These striking console desserts showcase the hallmarks of late 18th-century design, with echoes of similar pieces found in the collections of the Musée du Louvre and other notable French institutions. Their elegant Neoclassical styling — typified by the restrained silhouette and classical motifs — reflects the period’s turn towards symmetry and refined ornamentation, moving away from the flourish of earlier Rococo furniture. The combination of highest-quality mahogany and tasteful use of gilt brass would have made them coveted furnishings in a well-appointed Parisian salon.

Notable Features:

  • Exquisite craftsmanship includes finely fluted mahogany column legs, meticulously veneered lower shelves, and original turned tapering legs capped with elegant brass sabots.
  • Distinctive design elements, such as the grey mottled marble tops bordered by pierced brass galleries and gilt ring handle long drawers, signify the period’s penchant for balanced forms and luxurious materials.
  • Highly sought-after for their rarity and historical value, this pair of console tables offers an outstanding opportunity for collectors or connoisseurs seeking authentic Louis XVI console tables with enduring appeal.
  • Versatile in placement, these consoles are ideal for use as statement entries or elegant dessert displays, providing both functionality and decorative impact in traditional or contemporary interiors.

With their outstanding preservation and period authenticity, these console desserts are not only a testament to superb French cabinetry, but a valuable addition to any serious collection or stylish home setting.
