Antique Renaissance Revival “Dolphin” Console Table with Carved Lion Heads

A rare and majestic find—this antique dolphin console table is a bold example of Renaissance Revival craftsmanship. Carved in solid oak with a deep, rich finish, the table is supported by stylized "dolphin" legs, a classical motif inspired by Greco-Roman design. Each leg curves dramatically and is embellished with foliate details, leading to a carved stretcher base and claw feet.

The apron is richly decorated with scrolling acanthus leaves and crowned at each corner with lion’s head masks holding brass rings—an elegant blend of strength and refinement.

Perfect as an entryway console, writing desk, or statement accent piece.
