Gueridon - Marble, Wood, Gilt brass

Probable period: around 1850–1900
Area possible: Production in northern/central Italy or France

Details of the tripod guéridon structure:

- circular top (0,40 cm diameter) in veined red-brown marble;
- three turned wooden columns with a star and gilded feet (overall height 0,75 cm)
- Neoclassical/Empire decorations (palmettes, rosettes, vegetal motifs); acanthus leaves and rosette motifs;

This typology is strongly linked to France during the Empire and Restoration era, but it was reproduced very widely also in the nineteenth century.
