A stunning and extremely high quality French early 19th Century Louis XVI st. giltwood and white Carrara marble console with its matching mirror. The freestanding console is raised by most elegant topie shaped feet below striking carved block rosettes and circular tapered fluted legs adorned with beautiful large richly carved acanthus leaves. Each leg is connected by an impressive and most decorative X shaped scrolled foliate stretcher with a mottled design and centered by an exceptional urn of prosperity. Above each leg are additional richly carved block rosettes flanking carved interlocking designs which extends along the frieze which is centered by a pierced rose wreath and superb scrolled acanthus leaves. The console displays its original fitted white Carrara marble top. Above, the original mirror plate is framed within a beautiful rectangular mottled giltwood border with a finely detailed laurel band and interlocking pattern. To each side are superb richly carved cornucopias with abundant flowers. The stunning pierced top crown is centered by a striking circular mirror plate framed within additional interlocking designs and a laurel band tied with a charming top ribbon. Two love birds are perched on a quiver full of arrows amidst lavish scrolled designs, a bag pipe and intricately detailed luxuriant flowers which extend along each side. Wonderful attention to detail, original gilt and superb French symbolism throughout.
