Subtly Incised Console Table

Drawn from Theodore Alexander's Castle Bromwich collection, this console table is realized in khaya wood and khaya veneer, its warm, close-grained character lending the piece a quiet depth that reads differently in every light. The subtly incised detailing — restrained in scale, precise in execution — traces the surface with the kind of disciplined ornament that defines the classical tradition without ever overstating it. At just twelve inches deep, the silhouette is architecturally slender, conceived for the threshold spaces of a considered interior: an entrance hall, a gallery corridor, a carefully arranged salon. It is the sort of piece that anchors a room without commanding it, present and refined in equal measure.
