This console was made in the 18th century in Venice, Italy, from carved and gilded wood. The recessed top is in pink marble. The console has a Louis XV style line, with a strongly shaped top, a band and curved legs. On the front and sides the band features a carved decoration with scroll motifs and phytomorphic elements in the Rocaille style. On the front we find a burin workmanship.
