Pair of Baroque consoles in lacquered wood and onyx tops, Veneto, late 17th century

Pair of Baroque consoles in carved, gilded, and white lacquered wood with marine onyx tops, Lower Veneto, late 17th - early 18th century This extraordinary pair of Baroque consoles, originating from Lower Veneto and datable between the late 17th and early 18th centuries, embodies the elegance and theatricality typical of aristocratic furniture of the time. Made of finely carved, gilded, and white lacquered wood, they feature a rich decoration of plant motifs and volutes, culminating in a central shell-shaped element. The marine onyx tops, of rare beauty and value, complete the work with a touch of chromatic and material refinement, enhancing the contrast between the luminosity of the lacquer and the depth of the stone. The quality of the carving, the excellent preservation, and the stylistic coherence attest to their origin from a high-level Venetian workshop, probably linked to noble commissions. The use of marine onyx, a rare and precious material, suggests an exclusive destination, perhaps in patrician palaces or ecclesiastical residences. These consoles are not only testimonies of craftsmanship but also art objects capable of engaging with contemporary taste. Perfect for enriching private collections or enhancing exhibition spaces, they represent a harmonious combination of decoration, functionality, and history. Their presence on the antique market is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of the Venetian Baroque, in an impeccable state of preservation. Height 89 cm, width 135 cm, depth 67 cm
