Marquetry guéridon with removable top – 19th century Magnificent coffee table/antique guéridon, probably of French origin, dating from the second half of the 19th century, around 1860–1890. This elegant table stands out for its substantial cabinetmaking and marquetry work. It rests on a superb central turned baluster shaft, richly decorated with fillets and inlays of contrasting woods. The pedestals terminate in four curved feet in a volute, themselves adorned with marqueted motifs. The large rectangular top with beveled edges is removable. It features at its center a remarkable geometric star marquetry evoking a compass rose, surrounded by a contrasting wooden surround. Construction appears mainly of solid wood and veneer, presumably with walnut as the predominant wood, combined with lighter and darker essences used to create the marquetry decorations. The beautiful figuring, natural tones and warm patina give the whole piece a great deal of character. Country of origin: France Period: circa 1860–1890 Style: historicist / eclectic, classical influence Main wood: walnut Materials: solid wood, marquetry of different essences Colors: honey brown, warm brown and dark brown Decor: central star, fillets and geometric marquetry motifs Top: removable Dimensions: 77 cm in height × 90 cm in length × 59 cm in width. The table displays a handsome old patina and signs of use consistent with its age, visible in the photographs. Its particularly crafted pedestal and the richness of its marquetry give it a distinctive decorative character.
