Antique Luis XVI style shelf, circa 1900, made of bronze with a marble top, of French origin, dimensions 54 cm wide by 25 cm high by 23 cm deep, in good used condition with minor signs of age.
Description from the seller
This antique Louis XVI-style shelf, made of gilded bronze and finished with a marble top, blends the classical elegance of the 1900s with the decorative craftsmanship typical of pieces produced in the centuries that followed in that model. The design features a symmetrical structure with volutes, acanthus leaves, and floral motifs that evoke the French neoclassical taste, characterized by harmony, verticality, and refined ornamentation.
The lower support, richly worked in gilded bronze, shows a deep relief and a warm finish that highlights the decorative details. The upper shelf, made of light marble, provides solidity and an elegant contrast between the smooth surface and the ornate base. Although the connecting piece requires adjustments, the shelf retains its full functionality, capable of supporting decorative objects without compromising its stability.
This type of shelf was common in sophisticated interiors, where it was used to display porcelains, small clocks, figurines, or ornamental elements. Its presence brings an air of distinction and timelessness, typical of the Louis XVI style reinterpretated in later periods.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
