Console table (one of a pair)
These side tables have richly carved supports, pierced throughout with asymmetrical shell-forms and cartouches, floral garlands, foliage, and birds and are a wonderful expression of the Rococo style. Such tables were the work of carpenters or menuisiers who were primarily involved with preparing building timbers. The decorative carvings were completed by highly-skilled carvers – neither of the craftsman signed their work and their identity remains unknown.
