Description from the seller
Isabeline Console, Carved Wood and Marble, circa 1850-1915 – Spain
Exquisite Isabeline console made of carved and gilded wood, at the dawn of the 1900s in Spain. Of simple structure, it consists of a body carved in wood and a top or surface of white marble 2 centimeters thick. The piece is distinguished by its exuberant Rococo-inspired ornamentation, visible in the asymmetric curves, scrolls, shells, and flora and fauna motifs that run across its entire structure; the large central 'Venera' catches the eye. The gilding enhances the relief’s richness and brings luminosity and splendor to the whole. As is typical in this type of console, cabriole legs, connected by a heavily decorated frieze, in harmony with the central 'Venera' mentioned above. This type of console, conceived as a support and display piece, evidences the desire to recover pretended styles reinterpreted under Isabeline aesthetics.
The Isabeline style is an artistic and decorative movement that developed in Spain during the reign of Isabel II (1833–1868), within the context of 19th-century historicism. It is characterized by its eclecticism, that is, the combination and reinterpretation of styles from earlier periods—primarily Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical—with a bourgeois and ornamental taste adapted to the new values of comfort and social representation. In furniture, Isabeline style is distinguished by the use of noble woods (such as walnut or mahogany), abundant ornamental carvings, curved and sinuous lines, and gilded applications or marquetry. The furniture is usually voluminous yet elegant, with a clear decorative and symbolic purpose, intended to reflect the status and refinement of the newly prosperous middle class. In short, the Isabeline style represents Spain’s adaptation of European models—especially French and Italian—blending tradition and modernity in an aesthetic that is rich, theatrical, and highly decorative.
