Description from the seller
Lot Description
Unusual and elegant side table (or guéridon) of Venetian artisanal craftsmanship, characterized by a sophisticated design with a strong decorative impact.
The top features a tabletop with a singular lobed shape of three lobes (or clover), entirely lacquered in a refined antique sage green hue. Along the apron beneath the top are integrated three concealed, retractable drawers with circular knobs in gilded metal.
The central shaft is the true visual focal point of the piece: an imposing and heavy tripod structure in solid brass, turned, defined by three curved arms with square cross-sections that support the top and converge into a central baluster decorated with knots and spheres. The whole sits on a solid and heavy circular moulded base in coordinated lacquered wood, which guarantees optimal stability.
This piece represents a happy example of the high Venetian furniture craftsmanship of the twentieth century, ideal as a conversation piece or accent table for eclectic and refined interiors.
Country of origin: Italy (Venice)
• Era: First half of the 20th century (circa 1920–1940)
• Materials: Lacquered wood, supporting structure in solid brass / cast bronze.
Features: 3 drawers functional in the lobed band.
Dimensions: 73 cm (height) x 40 cm (diameter of the circular base)
Condition of the item
Conservation status: Good / Very good relative to age. The wooden structure and drawers are sound and perfectly stable. The green lacquer is original to the period and shows a beautiful and genuine antique patina, with slight and physiological color shifts, small scratches and signs of wear along the exposed edges that attest to its authenticity and history. The three drawers slide correctly. The brass part preserves its splendid original luster combined with a natural and warm oxidation of time. Please refer to the close-up images for a proper and transparent visual assessment.
