STUNNING LOUIS THE XIV MARBLE TOP CONSOLE TABLE WITH HIGHLY DETAILED GESSO GARLANDS AND HUGE URN WITH CROSSED BASE STRECTHER-FROM OUR PRIVATE COLLECTION-THE BEST!!! One of the perks of this business is our ability to keep the choicest pieces for our own collection-as is the case ! We have tried every place in this house trying to make this work but we simply can't find a home for this piece so we regretfully are going to part with this remarkable piece. This true French console in Louis the XIV style has a great black fossilized marble top, concentric designs in its apron, a center scalloped medallion, beautifully detailed garland wreathes and an amazing large urn sitting upon a crossed base stretcher. This phenomenal piece of real antique French imported furniture is one of the finest examples of this genre we have ever witnessed. This console stands at 33 ½" high, and is 38" long and is 17" wide. T are a few tiny spots were small chips of paint have come off the gesso work but we will re-touch these items before it arrives to you for no additional cost. This piece is the height of neo-classical furnishings and is nothing short of breathtaking. FURNITURE WOODS 101 We get a lot of questions on whether or not the furniture we list is comprised of solid wood or veneered. We would like to take this opportunity to give our customers a brief explanation of the construction of antique furniture. Most specialty cuts of wood i.e., tiger maple, bird's eye maple, tiger oak (a.k.a. quarter sawn) crotched mahogany, Cuban mahogany, burled walnut, flame birch, flame cherry, etc., are applied to furniture via veneers. These choice cuts of woods are prohibitively expensive that they very rarely used these in solid wood form. However, t were exceptions to this. When we are fortunate to encounter one of these exceptions, we try to be clear in identifying the solid wood construction. In most cases, these woods are no longer available at any price. If our listing doesn't state that it is made of solid wood, then the furniture was made from a combination of veneers and solid secondary woods. We list the specialty woods in our listings first, as that is the most prominent feature. Please read descriptions carefully and look at all photos. Ask any questions that you may still have. Requests of additional photos are encouraged, as we are limited to the amount of space allocated for photos. We hope this clarifies for you some of the mystique involved with buying antique and vintage furniture. "BUY IT NOW" OR "BEST OFFER" We use eBay's "Buy It Now" or "Best Offer" option as our way of selling merchandise to you in the fairest way possible to all. The "Best Offer" option allows you to barter for a price without having to stand by your computer to the end, just to have someone 'snipe it' away from you at the last minute. You don't have to wait for 7 days either! Once an offer is made and accepted , that's it, you have purchased the item at the negotiated price. Just remember though, someone could come in and pay the "Buy it Now" price before any negotiations are completed. So bid early to insure your treasure! Like all other sales on eBay, this is a binding contract, so I can't emphasize enough the importance of asking all questions first and looking at all photographs carefully. ITEM DESCRIPTIONS We are estate liquidators of all types of vintage , antique , and period furniture (anyw from 60 - 200 plus years of age). We cannot possibly list every small scratch, nick or bump that you might normally find on furniture of this magnitude and age. We will, however, list any notable flaws that are of any significance. We usually provide photos of all angles for your inspection. Please LOOK at all photos carefully. We deal in high volume and occasionally we might miss something in our listings. Nothing is ever intentional. If something doesn't seem right, i.e. dimensions, photos, etc., please ask and/or bring it to our attention. We ... read more
