Spiegel boven consoletafel after 1878

This anonymous design for a console table and mirror from the late 19th century is an example of a design plate from the French design magazine "Le Magasin de Meubles". The design is in the Louis XV style, a popular revival style in the late 19th century, known for its Rococo ornamentation and asymmetrical curves. The design is rendered in watercolor and pencil and depicts a gilded table with ornately carved legs and a matching mirror frame. The table is shown with a vase of flowers, suggesting its intended use in a domestic setting. The design plate format was widely used to share design ideas for furniture and interiors during this period.
