Description from the seller
-Elegant coffee table (guéridon) in perfect French classical Louis XV style, dating to the second half of the 20th century. The piece stands out for the refined craftsmanship of the shaped top in a “biscuit” form, embellished by a splendid sunburst motif in blond walnut that encloses a rich central floral inlay in walnut burl, achieved by juxtaposing woods of different natural tones. The top rests on a centrally turned shaft, ending with a three-legged base that is moved and carved with the classic scroll motifs of French cabinetmaking. A piece of furniture with great charm and decorative impact, ideal as a surface to place lamps, sculptures or beside a sofa.
-Dimensions: Height: 60 cm; Maximum diameter: 52 cm
-Condition: The item presents itself in good overall aesthetic condition. The surface of the top retains a beautiful sheen that enhances the natural grain of the burl and walnut. Note for transparency: A natural wood crack is noted at the junction point of one of the three feet to the central shaft (as visible in the close-up photos), a common defect in this type of furniture that does not compromise the overall aesthetics but requires gentle tightening or a small consolidation intervention. Normal wear of time at the base of the feet.
