Louis XVI period table console in mahogany

Trapezoidal shaped console table with curved sides, in mahogany, and speckled mahogany veneer.
It has one belt-like drawer and sits on four fluted slender legs joined together with a lower plate.

Ornaments are in chased bronzed, such as the openwork gallery, rings, rosettes, and “grattoirs” (literally scrappers - ornaments on both side of the drawer)

The top is a built-in white veined marble board

Louis XVI period

The bronze ornementation has been completely disassembled and cleaned by a professional restorer.

This beautiful trapezoidal console can be compared to the work of the master Guillaume BENEMAN, who also liked the use of fluted columns at the top and tapered at the bottom. A dresser forming a secretary by Guillaume Beneman, from the Rochas collection was recently sold at Sotheby's and has identical ornamentations at the level of "scrapers", or "plaques brettées", as well as beaded moldings.
