19th-century carved wooden drop-leaf console.

19th-century carved wooden drop-leaf console, originating from Italy. It features a moulded top with a faux marble finish; the structure is distinguished by a completely redone lacquer and gilding, revealing the original finish in places. The front drawer is elegantly integrated into the apron beneath the top. The apron is richly carved with scrolls, leaves, and gilded scrollwork, extending into the curved legs joined at the base.
