description
A pair of consoles dessertes, executed in mahogany veneer and with Carrara marble tops. The consoles each stand on four tall slender legs, interrupted by a shelf edged with a gilt bronze border at the front and a gallery rim along the sides and back. At the intersection with the shelf, the legs incorporate blocks decorated with square, fire-gilt bronze rosettes. Above these, the legs are fluted and tapered, narrowing slightly towards the upper side, where they segue into the blocks that form the flanking stiles for the drawer. The blocks are decorated with gilt bronze appliques. The shape of the drawer between the blocks is enhanced by a rectangular pearl border. Within the field enclosed by this border are two round pulls with rings, between which is the key plate with bows and festoons.
The rounded sides of the consoles feature faux drawers bearing the same decorations as the drawer at the front. The consoles have Carrara marble tops decorated with a gallery rim.
