Presentation Script
Presenting this Louis XV style giltwood console table. It features a serpentine onyx top over an elaborately carved frieze. The piece is crafted from giltwood, showcasing robust rocaille shell and floral motifs typical of the Belle Époque era.

The markings on the underside suggest it may have been part of a larger inventory or pattern collection, possibly from a prominent decorating firm or estate. The damage to one of the feet will impact its value.
