Mid 19th-century Carved Rosewood Console Table

A mid-19th century beautiful and highly decorative British colonial rosewood console table, featuring four profusely carved legs terminating into mythical animal faces at the tabletop. The top is crafted from a fine figured piece of rosewood and adorned with a broad band of richly carved foliage design and animal figures around the edge. The scalloped shaped apron is intricately carved and pierced with scrolling foliage, including a carved mythical bird at the center. The four legs are connected through a carved and pierced X-stretcher with a nicely carved finial. This piece exhibits stunning quality craftsmanship.
