A beautifully crafted walnut gueridon features a red, white and grey variegated marble set into a turned moulded frame.

The frieze below depicts a laurel leaf band and rope moulding.

The turned tapered legs have bulbous teardrop and reeded carving.

Below is a traditionally caned shelf.

The piece has good proportions and a pleasing mellow patina. The caning is intact and in good condition commensurate with its age.

There is evidence of some historic (long-gone) worm and the piece has been treated as a precaution.
