Console table - Walnut, Burr walnut - Charles X Empire Console

Beautiful veneered walnut console, Italian mid-19th century period. Carlo X in overall excellent condition. This piece is an antique console dating from the 19th century. The style strongly recalls the Carlo X period (typical of Italian furniture from the first half of the 19th century). Materials: The structure is made of flame-figured walnut veneer, characterized by the typical flame-like grain. The top is in dark marble (often Bardiglio gray or Saint Anne marble). Design: It features the classic S-shaped or volute uprights and a shaped base resting on carved lion-paw feet, a detail typical of high-quality cabinetmaking of the era. Function: It was used as a parlor entrypiece in hallways or reception rooms, often topped by a large coordinated looking-glass. Shipping is trackable and insured; please note that due to the weight of the marble shipping may be more expensive, in which case I am available for pickup. I attach an appraisal by a well-known antiquities expert and registered with the court, Mr. Marco Zaia.
