These consoles display high rococo design interpreted in what was considered an unusual - and even experimental - material in mid-18th century France. Surviving pieces of 18th century wrought-iron furniture are rare. Many are provincial pieces, often Southern French and are in marked contrast to the more sophisticated and high-style steel pieces made for the Court and Paris residences (U. Leben, 'Iron and Steel Furniture in France', The Magazine Antiques, September 1996, pp. 346-353).
