Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate despite a little too bright. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age, use and handling. The marble top has been restored and the right hand side front corner has been partly replaced. The gilding jas been refreshed throughout. A few minor restorations and a very few minor losses to the foliage frieze of the central rail.
Very nice design, rare model.
No visible woodworm. Solid construction.

Catalogue Note
Parfaite illustration du goût « à la grecque » né dans les arts décoratifs vers 1760, notre console fut sans doute réalisée par un menuisier qui s’inspira des projets des ornemanistes Prieur ou Jean-Charles Delafosse. Ce dernier publia plusieurs recueils, dont celui de 1768 intitulé Nouvelle Iconologie Historique qui nous montre des projets de console présentant les mêmes larges pieds cannelés à asperges ornés d’une guirlande de fleurs tombantes en façade dites « en cordes à puits ». Une paire de consoles à la grecque de cet esprit fut livrée par Rémy Absille (1725-1795) pour la galerie de l'Hôtel des Menus-Plaisirs à Paris en 1767. Celle-ci est conservée aujourd’hui au château de Versailles (inv. Vmb9091.2).
