A console in finely carved and giltwood, with Rocaille decoration of scrollwork, acanthus leaves, central cartouche, shells and flower garlands. Cabriole base joined by an openwork foliate stretcher. Shaped white marble top with scrolled moulding. The gilding showing the red bole in places. French work, 19th century.
An elegant occasional column or pedestal of rectangular form, executed in painted wood on a deep black ground, enhanced with gilt decoration. Italian 19th-century production drawing on the 18th-century ornamental repertoire. The four faces present a symmetrical composition of foliate scrolls, fleurons and stylised floral motifs, finely executed in matte gilding on a black ground. The design combines Neoclassical rigour with Baroque reminiscences, lending the piece an assertive architectural presence. The column opens with a side door fitted with original early hardware, giving access to a natural-wood interior fitted with a fixed shelf. The structure rests on a sober moulded base, and is surmounted by an overhanging upper top with softened edges, also accentuated with gilding. Polychromy preserved with wear consistent with age. Halfway between furniture and decorative element, serving as a decorative column, support for objects or a discreet small storage piece.
A fine rectangular coffee table emblematic of French and Italian sophistication of the 1970s. This piece embodies the luxurious aesthetic of late 20th-century Parisian "Glamour", of which Willy Rizzo and Maison Jansen were the leading figures.
The top is a technical feat: a hand-worked lacquered resin, offering an organic decoration with warm nuances of amber, Sienna and tortoiseshell. The visual depth of the top, protected by a high-gloss lacquer, contrasts admirably with the architectural rigour of the base. The structure is composed of a square-section brass frame. The elegance of this model lies in the detail of the recessed joint (or shadow band) in black located between the top and the base, creating an illusion of levitation characteristic of high-end creations of this period. Timeless design, manufacturing quality, decorative effect. France or Italy, circa 1975.

Floral motif echoed on the top, framed by fillets. Cabriole curved legs typical of Rocaille style, adorned with enhanced foliate carvings. Mid-20th century — Louis XV style / Venetian Rococo.
