Unique Cast Iron and Slate Console Table 51¼" x 27½"

This exceptional console combines a 19th-century cast iron base with a sleek black slate top, creating a refined contrast between intricate detailing and smooth, elegant surfaces. The base is composed of finely sculpted Haussmann era balusters, arranged in a unique architectural composition that highlights the craftsmanship of the period. The dark tones of the slate enhance the overall sophistication, making this piece both visually striking and highly functional.

The Haussmannian balusters used in the structure are a testament to the grand architectural transformations that reshaped Paris in the late 19th century during Baron Haussmann’s urban renewal projects. Originally designed for the façades and balconies of Parisian buildings, these cast iron elements were emblematic of the period's dedication to both ornamentation and structural integrity. Repurposed here in a console table, they bring a rare historical dimension to the piece, bridging classic architectural heritage with interior décor.

This console is perfect for showcasing art objects, sculptures, or decorative elements in an entryway, living room, or study. The intricately sculpted base adds texture and depth, while the slate top serves as a neutral yet luxurious surface that complements both antique and contemporary pieces. Paired with modern or classic furnishings, this console effortlessly enhances interiors with a balance of history, craftsmanship, and Parisian elegance.
