An elegant 19th century French Neoclassical giltwood console table, with the original shaped white marble which has an old repair (as photographed). This pretty hall or side table is raised on gilded tapering reeded legs culminating in block and spade feet. The frieze of embellished swags meets at a quiver of arrows and flaming torch. 

The flaming torch is an ancient symbol of life, truth and the regenerative power of fire while the quiver of arrows signifies the ability to use force in the pursuit of justice.

There is an old repair to a crack in the marble top, as photographed. The table is structurally secure and all patina is as expected for a piece this age.
