Reference: ZF1097

English Regency console table. Rosewood, gilded wood, bronze, mirror. First half of the 19th century. Console with a rectangular top with smooth wooden edges, featuring a waist decorated with gilded bronzes and a band of black architectural elements. At the front, it rests on two gilded legs with a feline head (leopard or panther), plant decorations and a lion's claw finish; the back features a rectangular mirror. The base repeats the pattern of the upper area, and is also decorated with gilded appliqués. Although the model shows the influence of the French Empire consoles common at the time, details such as the wooden top, dark lines, felines on the front, etc., are more reminiscent of English examples from the Regency period, so called because it was set at the time when the future George IV was Prince Regent (1811-1820). Compare the feline legs with illustrations by Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) and Thomas Hope (1769-1831), and with furniture designs by George Smith (1756-1826).
