Carved and gilded wooden console, Italy, Barocchetto period mid-18th centu

This elegant console was made during the Barocchetto period (Rococo), around the mid-18th century, in the Piedmont region, Italy.
The top is in Bardiglio grey marble with a shaped and moulded edge. The apron beneath the top is particularly distinctive, made of finely carved and gilded wood, pierced at the front, on the legs, and at the sides. The rich and flowing decorations feature rocaille motifs and symmetrical phytomorphic elements, which converge in the center to form a sort of frame around a rose.
The legs are typical of the period: curved, sinuous, and richly carved. They end in volutes and scrolls and are joined at the bottom by a shaped stretcher in carved and gilded wood, pierced to form an asymmetrical rocaille-style decoration.
This console stands out for the refinement of its carving and the abundant presence of pierced elements, recalling the French Louis XV taste, which was a stylistic reference for Piedmont. It appears luminous and highly decorative. Despite the richness of its ornamentation, it remains graceful and can easily be integrated into various settings, such as entryways and corridors, as well as living rooms or bedrooms, whether combined with antique or modern furniture.
