Half-Moon console, Louis XVI / Directoire, 18th Century style.
Elegant piece made of wood with a mahogany veneer, and marquetry/inlay, from France.
Marquetery is a type of inlay that involves assembling contrasting wood pieces into scenes, shapes, or geometric patterns. Like puzzle pieces, thin pieces of veneer are delicately assembled and glued to the surface of a piece.
The console has beautiful, delicate, decorated marquetry on the top, as well as on both top and face of the upper trim, and another wood-colored trim, just under the sliding doors (see photos.)
The piece rests on three, long legs. The center/middle of the table, features two sliding doors with vertical pieces of carved wood, that have two, small, brass-colored knobs (see photos.)
Note: Both sliding doors open and close (see photos.) The sliding door on the left functions, but has a slight resistance, so it should gently guided with one hand on the knob and the other hand, on the actual panel, in order to help it slide properly on the track, when opening and closing.
Piece is in overall, very good original and vintage condition with some light, old marks and signs of previous usage commensurate with time, on the top (see photos), one tiny mark at the rear of the top (see photo next to a 1 cent coin for perspective), the top rear, left side of the trim (see photo), one just on top of the right sliding door (see photo). It carries a lovely patina of age and time.
