This French giltwood table riser features richly carved scrollwork and floral detailing, finished with a softly patinated gilt surface that highlights its depth and movement. The shaped white marble top sits neatly within the carved frame, offering a crisp contrast to the warmth of the giltwood below. Originally designed as a decorative surface rather than a functional table, pieces like this were traditionally used to elevate objects in salons and drawing rooms. It works beautifully as a console riser, display plinth, or decorative stand for urns, lamps or sculptural objects. Sometimes also referred to as a jardinière stand or salon plinth when used decoratively. The wear throughout is consistent with age and use and adds to the character of the piece rather than detracting from it. A highly versatile decorative form that brings instant French grandeur to a space without overwhelming it.
