Ancient Gueridon Italy '800 Coffee Table Carved Wood

France, Late XIX Century

Napoleon III side table in marquetterie exotic wood and bois de violette, France, late 19th century. Upper surface equipped with a removable glass tray and connected to the lower surface by wavy uprights. Entirely decorated with finely chiseled gilded bronzes, used to make the edge of the tops, the handles and the classic-style applications depicting corncucopias, leafy and floral elements, ribbons and masks. The goat-shaped shoes are also in gilded bronze. Restored.

Elegant table with beech wood base and walnut veneered wood top; an elegant table with a very particular shape, with very clean lines from the 50s, suitable for a Living area that seeks a touch of great originality due to its unusual shape, or also suitable as a display surface; carefully restored by our laboratory, the wooden part thus returns to the original luminosity of the essence of stained beech and of the walnut top with shellac and a wax finish.
