Spanish Console Table

France, 20th Century

$2,195

The barley-twist leg was a flourish the Spanish loved, a plain post turned into a long rope of a spiral, and this console stands on six of them. Found in Aix-en-Provence and dating to the 20th century, it is a long console with two drawers on brass drop pulls, raised on those six twisted legs and joined low by a box stretcher, restored and ready to use. The spiral came into fashion in the 1600s and never quite left the workshops of Spain and Portugal, a bit of Baroque drama carried down into plainer country pieces like this. Sylvie sets it in an entry with a lamp and a bowl for keys, or behind a sofa, long enough for a run of books and flowers.
