Antique carved wooden table base with animal heads – 19th century / neo-R style

Imposing and very decorative antique wooden table base, resting on four richly worked legs adorned with heads of fantastic animals/deer, foliage, and carved motifs. The base features particularly spectacular decoration, in a neo-Renaissance/historicist style, probably from the second half of the 19th century or the early 20th century. It is currently topped with a small rectangular wooden plate fixed to the base, measuring 70 × 23 cm, thickness 2.5 cm. This can serve as a support or be replaced to create a table, console, or guéridon with an appropriate top. Dimensions: * height of the base: 63 cm. * maximum span: approximately 86 cm. * currently fixed top: 70 × 23 × 2.5 cm. The wood has a beautiful dark patina and numerous signs of its age. Several cracks and small accidents are visible. One end of the leg is heavily affected by wood-boring insects and will require restoration/consolidation. Old metal casters under the legs. Sold in its antique condition, with its marks, wear, and accidents visible in the photographs.
