Console en placage d'acajou, bois de rose, amarante et bois teintés à monture de bronze doré d'époque Louis XVI, estampillée R.V.L.C

de forme cintrée, la ceinture ornée d'une frise d'entrelacs feuillagés centrés de tournesols, ouvrant à un tiroir en façade et à deux compartiments latéraux grâce à des boutons-poussoirs ; les montants en gaine à cannelures simulées, reliés par une tablette d'entretoise marquetée à décor géométrique et terminés par des pieds fuselés

Illustration is quite accurate. Some gilt-bronzes added later (for example the key-plate and the roses on the feet). Marble top with inevitable scratches and small edge chips. The veneered stretcher with few minor cracks. Large and elegant model in good overall condition, for conservative estimates.
