Distressed Paint Finish –Age:  Elements are antique-over 100 years of age; construction and painting of console is recent

This French console has been made with antique elements and the paint has been 
hand rubbed and distressed to give the piece a regal rustication, just right for today’s more casual settings.  The ornamentation on the apron frontage is asymmetrical rocaille c-scroll acanthus leaves and florets in the style of Louis XV Rococo.  There are two stylized brackets with trailing leaves to either side of the apron and over the two front turned and ribbed legs. The ribbed legs are repeated on the back.  The feet are ribbed and tied at the base of the legs, perhaps representing tied tassels. 

This console has smaller width and depth dimensions which are difficult to find.  Besides its use as a console, it could also be used as a base for a sink. Condition:  Old restorations ; rubs and nicks to paint and wood.
