Console Table 1852 - 1855

This Console Table, crafted by American furniture maker John Henry Belter between 1852 and 1855, is a prime example of his highly skilled and ornate Rococo Revival style. The table's elaborate, hand-carved rosewood frame is adorned with intricate floral and foliate motifs, while the top is crafted of marble. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, showcases Belter’s mastery of woodworking and his ability to create furniture that was both elegant and functional.
