Console demi-lune, volutes de fer patiné sous un marbre blanc veiné

Un plateau de marbre blanc, veiné de gris, dessine un demi-cercle net. Juste dessous, une ceinture dorée déroule une guirlande de feuilles liée de rubans croisés, centrée d'une rosace. Puis le fer prend le relais : de larges crosses en C et en S, d'une patine bronze rehaussée d'or, s'évasent comme une corbeille, s'enroulent en volutes et lancent de petits rameaux feuillus. Une tablette basse, ornée d'un motif floral, relie les pieds, qui se referment en spirale au sol. L'ensemble reste aérien malgré le poids du marbre.

Le fer forgé d'art est l'un des grands domaines de l'Art déco français, et Edgar Brandt, 1880-1960, en demeure la figure de référence. Ses consoles associent volontiers plateau de marbre et décor naturaliste en fer ; le modèle Altesse est produit à partir de 1927, selon un marchand. Des consoles de fer à plateau de marbre des environs de 1925 figurent aussi dans des collections muséales, notamment à l'Art Institute of Chicago. Ce rapprochement éclaire un goût, non un auteur : la fiche ne cite ni Brandt ni aucun atelier, et date la console seulement du XXe siècle.

Read in English

A white marble top, veined in grey, draws a clean half circle. Just below, a gilded apron unrolls a garland of leaves bound with crossed ribbons around a central rosette. Then the iron takes over: broad C and S scrolls, in a bronze patina heightened with gold, flare outwards like a basket, curl into volutes and send out small leafy sprigs. A low shelf, set with a floral motif, joins the legs, which close into spirals at the floor. The whole remains airy despite the weight of the marble.

Decorative wrought iron is one of the great fields of French Art Deco, and Edgar Brandt, 1880 to 1960, remains its reference figure. His consoles readily pair a marble top with naturalistic iron decoration; according to a dealer, the Altesse model was produced from 1927. Iron consoles with marble tops from around 1925 also feature in museum collections, among them the Art Institute of Chicago. The comparison illuminates a taste, not an author: the listing cites neither Brandt nor any workshop, and dates the console only to the twentieth century.
