Console in mahogany and marble "Return from Egypt". Empire, nineteenth century

Discreet and sober, this charming "return from egypt" console celebrates the campaign of general bonaparte who brings back to france works of art and egyptian souvenirs never seen before. All mahogany, this console is covered with a gray marble top sainte anne while its uprights form the body of two egyptian characters whose heads and sandals are in patinated bronze. A mirror slightly speckled by time and a gilded bronze lock entrance depicting two swans delimit the perfect symmetry of this elegant piece of furniture. Very good condition.
