Rare Spanish Console

Spain, 19th Century

$2,595

Antique Hard To Find One-Of-A-Kind

Found in Béziers and from a historic masia near Besalú, this 19th-century Spanish console is the rare piece in a farmhouse otherwise full of plain, working furniture. Where a masia mostly held things built to be used hard, a console like this was made only to be looked at, set against the best wall of the main room to hold whatever the family wanted seen, a vase, a lamp, the good dishes laid out for company. The curved legs and the serpentine top borrow the grand style of the city and the great house, brought into a Catalan farmhouse by a maker reaching well past the everyday. Sylvie sets it in an entry or behind a sofa, the long line of it doing most of the work on its own.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. The back has been left flat to sit neatly against a wall. The dark-stained wood showcases beautiful grain throughout, and the piece is sturdy overall.
