Sculptural Console Assembled from 1900s Cast-Iron Balcony Elements with Marble Top - 61"

Composed as a sculptural console, this piece marries salvaged Belgian cast-iron balcony elements with a Spanish gray marble top veined in white. The elongated, shallow slab rests on a frieze and balustrade of cast iron with repeating vertical stiles enriched with foliate scrolls, rosettes, and small cartouches, retaining traces of old off-white paint. The components date to the late 19th century and were assembled later as a console, resulting in a long and airy yet substantial silhouette. This striking piece continues the historic pairing of iron and stone seen in garden architecture and city terraces, making the later assemblage authentic in spirit and practical in use. The ironwork displays layers of aged paint, oxidation, and surface rust that form a beautifully distressed patina, while the marble shows minor edge wear and small nicks consistent with age.

With its poetic, timeworn character, it exudes decorative strength and timeless appeal, equally at home in an entryway, garden room, or covered terrace. In an entry hall beneath a mirror, the console provides an elegant resting place for keys, lamps, or a small sculpture. Ideal for a conservatory, mudroom, or covered terrace surrounded by terracotta pots and greenery, it bridges the line between architecture and ornament. The pairing of cool marble and ornate iron introduces quiet drama to both classical and rustic interiors, its weathered patina enriching the space with depth and history.
