Portuguese Pair of 18th Century Pine Altar Consoles
$7,800.0019.75"H x 42.50"W x 20.38"D
Dimensions: 19 ¾” H x 42 ½” W x 20 ⅜” D
A magnificent pair of 18th century Portuguese carved pine wall consoles, also called brackets, originally part of the architectural program of a cathedral altar. They have been updated more recently with travertine stone tops for a durable surface that complements the timeless quality of the baroque profile. Deep cornices project with chamfered corners (of which the stone tops are shaped to fit) with a beautiful slope that contours then retreats toward the wall. A finely carved finial inverted from the base reveals foliate carvings to echo the acanthus at the top corners, unifying the look and enhancing its architectural function. Truly these are a remarkable feat of vision and craft. At just over 20” in depth, these floating brackets are a practical solution in lieu of console tables with legs, satisfying both a decorative statement and shelf to display upon. Three centuries of patina enriches the natural wood grain and character of these intriguing antique fixtures to become a focal point of any room. Gently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Sold as a pair.
French 19th Century Louis Philippe Burl Walnut Tall Chest
$4,200.0059.50"H x 44.50"W x 20"D
Dimensions: 59 ½” H x 44 ½” W x 20” D
A gorgeous 19th century French walnut chest of drawers–eight drawers to be exact-designed as a classic Louis Philippe commode with spellbinding patterns in the matched wood grain. The top surface is rounded at the corners and wrapped with narrow pieces of the burled walnut to begin the “waterfall” effect that leads the eye from one drawer to the next. A frieze drawer on the very top of the stack no longer has a functioning lock, but is easily opened by gently grabbing the corners. The six drawers in the middle of the case feature stunning bookmatched fronts of radiating grain patterns that feel cohesive and expansive; they also share a key between them to secure the functioning locks. One additional drawer in the base is nearly hidden except for the keyhole that does not lock. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax. Please view the detailed images to see more of this extraordinary chest. One key included.
French Mid-century Travertine Dining Table
$7,995.0029"H x 78.75"W x 39.25"D
Dimensions: 29” H x 78 ¾” W x 39 ¼” D
This French vintage travertine dining table is a monument and testament to the era of cosmopolitan sophistication seen in Hollywood Regency, that taste for noble materials balanced by Mid-Century Modern preference for linear, architectural volumes. The solid slab on top–without an apron–keeps the lines clean and open, fully appreciating the subtleties of the stone that blend creamy neutrals of white, beige, and flecks of gray. The two pedestal bases are slightly recessed making room for six guests to sit comfortably. Each pedestal block rises from a stepped base using two, parallel slabs that form a narrow void in between which adds to the visual tension. While seemingly minimal and unyielding at first glance, the table’s rounded edges, chamfered corners, and powdery smooth surface is very pleasant and enjoyable when dining. Please note the corners of the bases, one or two have been repaired professionally. Please view the detailed images to see more.

Dimensions: 82 ⅜” H x 56” W x 28 ⅜” D
A substantial carved cabinet from Portugal, 18th century if not earlier, made of chestnut wood that has been carefully transformed with reeded, geometric designs on the four doors. In a hybrid style known as “Mudéjar” the decorative arts of the period nodded to the Moorish presence in the Iberian peninsula and global influence from the colonies . Using just a single solid plank for each side of the cabinetry, the interior is divided into upper and lower sections enclosed by these gorgeous doors hung on forged iron hardware with working locks. The top cabinet offers a high, narrow shelf around three sides like a kind of mezzanine over a 22” deep shelf that fills the interior. Below that, to the right side, is a small tabernacle box whose door is also carved with the repetitive lines seen on the exterior doors. The lower cabinet has one shelf, approximately 48” wide x 22” deep. While this cabinet may be nearly 400 years old its solid construction and extraordinary craft would make an astounding addition to any interior. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to preserve the historic character. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.

Behind the pairs of locking doors framed by fluted pilasters are three interior shelves each (13 ½” deep) which are adjustable on sawtooth brackets to easily reconfigure as needed.

Dimensions: 71 ⅜” H x 59” W x 28 ¾” D
An exceptional Portuguese cabinet from the 18th century with faux bois painted exterior to mimic the exotic woods of the colonies, like rosewood and mahogany, that expertly captures their unique grain patterns and tone to become a unique work of art in the process. The top cabinet uses two, bifold paneled doors to enclose the interior, appearing as four narrow sections with dark, raised middle panels framed by contrasting “woods” in lighter tones.

Hidden in between the two bodies is a retractable shelf that slides out by two short knobs nearly imperceptible against the trim. In the lower body is a row of three drawers over a very wide drawer spanning the full width–all using wrought iron drop (lifting) handles to open. Note the middle drawer retains a working lock and key. For the modern interior the scale of this case piece is impressive alone, offering daily inspiration and fascination by the handpainted faux bois decoration to use for living and dining room storage, offices, or in place of an armoire. The cabinet has been cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain every unique feature. Please view the detailed images to see more. Two keys included.
