Indian Neoclassical Style Console Table with Marble Top

Silver legs, and a top of dark stone that goes about its business quietly.

This neoclassical style console table with marble top comes from Rajasthan, India, and is contemporary. It is carved teak wood clad with silver, under a parquetry stone inlaid top. Silver-covered furniture has a long history in the princely courts of Rajasthan. Small urns sit at the corners of a fluted frieze, with leaf tips spaced along it. Four slender tapered legs are reeded and leaf-wrapped, ending in round feet. A narrow inlaid border edges the black and white veined top. It stands 35 inches high, 60 long and 18 deep.

Louis XVI never got this far east. His taste apparently did.
