Louis XV style gilt wood console and Carrara marble slab

This beautiful Louis XV style console made at the end of the 19th century shows beautiful curved lines an abundant sculpture typical of the Rococo style. It lays on four feet reunited by a strut from which spouts a rich decoration in relief composed of acanthus leaves scrolls. The feet are also adorned with acanthus leaves scrolls and mascarons on the upper corners. The belt depicts the same openwork decoration framing a medallion in which a face is represented. The sculptural quality of our elegant console is remarkable as much as the game between abundance and emptiness that balance the whole.

A pedestal table with a very rare enamel decoration from the Rubelles faience factory

Our rosewood veneered pedestal table, with a top decorated with shading enamels of a beautiful deep green, is a truly exceptional piece. Made between 1842 and 1844, this enamel decoration is the work of the artistic earthenware factory of Rubelles, near Fontainebleau. Possibly withdrawn from the Exhibition of Commerce and Industrial Products in 1844, our pedestal table is the only example known to date. At the end of the 19th century, his creations were highly prized by connoisseurs who competed for them “at a high price”. They were compared to the most beautiful English porcelain. Very rare, this decoration is made of lithophanic earthenware, a technique developed by Baron de Bourgoing in association with Alexis du Tremblay, owner of the Château de Rubelles. Directors of the Rubelles Manufacture, the two partners exploited this original process for around fifteen years. It allows you to obtain transparency effects in porcelain. The drawings are rendered in gradients, from opaque shadows to very translucent lights.
