EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of a pair of console tables from 1740, crafted with exquisite gilt pine and marble. Created by the English School in the 18th century, these stunning pieces measure 90x138x79 cm and are currently housed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries in Temple Newsam House, UK. The design is believed to be possibly attributed to John Vardy. The console tables feature verde antico marble slabs veneered with decorative brass beading, resting on intricately carved and gilded frames adorned with winged eagle head supports of double scroll design. The frieze boasts a fluted band between twisted ribbon and egg-and-dart moldings, while the front apron centers around a female mask backed by fringed drapes linked to the supports through swags of fruit and flowers. Notably, this elaborate design is symmetrically repeated on each side of the table. The frame sits atop a surbase painted to simulate a marble top, embellished with gilt acanthus moldings and a fronded shell positioned between its feet. Adding an intriguing touch, the inner surfaces are painted black. A metal tag stamped "2463" adorns one rail of this remarkable piece. This photograph captures every intricate detail of these console tables' craftsmanship for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate their beauty.
