Status: No sale
A substantial Neoclassical-style demilune console table, executed in patinated wrought iron with a shaped dark marble top. The half-moon plan is capped by a thick, polished stone slab with softly serpentine front edge and mottled charcoal-and-slate figuring, its weight visually counterbalanced by an openwork iron gallery. The base is articulated with continuous scrolling strapwork forming a rhythmic frieze, punctuated by rivet-like bosses and stylized foliate appliqués. The primary supports curve outward in elegant S-scrolls, converging to a central stretcher embellished with a fan-form shell reserve and additional acanthus ornament, evoking French Louis XVI and later Hollywood Regency revivals. The ironwork appears hand-forged and assembled, with hammer-textured surfaces, curled terminals, and layered elements that create depth and shadow. Designed for use as an entry, pier, or sofa console, the piece offers strong architectural presence while remaining visually light due to its pierced construction. A maker’s mark is not visible in the provided views; the design relates to 20th-century French-inspired decorative iron and marble consoles in the manner of Maison Jansen and similar ateliers. Size: 38 x 16 x 36"
