Catalogue Note
Cette console s'apparente à un groupe de consoles issues d'une production marseillaise vers 1750 présentant de fortes similitudes stylistiques comme le travail de la tôle dorée venant en complément décoratif sur une armature en fer forgé particulièrement déliée et mouvementée. Toutes comportent un fond de treillage décoré de rosaces. Citons comme exemple une grande console (larg. 150 cm) vendue chez Sotheby's à Londres, le 9 décembre 1994, lot 164, la paire autrefois dans la collection Stein puis vendue chez Christie's à Monaco le 15 décembre 1996, lot 96 ainsi que celle vendue à Marseille le 3 novembre 1992, étude Tabutin et Dianous.
