Pair of Italian Early 20th Century Carved Giltwood & Marble Console Tables, c.1920's

Description: This pair of Italian early 20th-century console tables showcases the elegance and movement of the French Louis XV style with beautifully carved giltwood frames. Each table features graceful cabriole legs, scrolling stretcher details, ornate shell and acanthus carvings, and a richly aged gilt finish that gives the pair wonderful antique character. The original Rosso Levanto marble tops add a dramatic contrast with their deep red-brown tones and natural white veining. Their narrow profile makes them ideal for an entryway, hallway, living room, or placed as a matching pair behind sofas or beneath mirrors. In original vintage condition, these c.1920s consoles retain their old-world charm, patina, and decorative presence.

Historical Fact The French Louis XV style became famous in the 18th century for its flowing curves, asymmetry, and nature-inspired carvings. Italian artisans often adapted French Rococo designs, adding their own decorative richness and hand-carved gilt finishes. Giltwood furniture was traditionally finished with gold leaf or gold-toned surfaces to create a luxurious effect in grand interiors. Rosso Levanto marble was prized for its deep reddish color and bold veining, making it a beautiful choice for elegant console tables and decorative furniture.
