English Regency console table. Rosewood, gilt wood, bronze, mirror. First half of the 19th century. Console with a rectangular wooden top featuring softened edges, a band decorated with gilt bronze and a border of black architectural elements. The front rests on two gilt legs adorned with a feline head (leopard or panther), vegetal motifs, and a lion's paw finial; the back features a rectangular mirror. The base echoes the design of the upper section and is also decorated with gilt appliqués. While the model shows the influence of the French Empire consoles common at the time, details such as the wooden top, the dark lines, the felines on the front, etc., are more reminiscent of English examples from the Regency period, so named because it falls during the time when the future George IV was Prince Regent (1811-1820). Compare the feline paws with illustrations by Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) and Thomas Hope (1769-1831), and with furniture designs by George Smith (1756-1826).
