Description

The Antiquities Den offers you this rare light stand guéridon in Louis XVI style, which embodies the architectural grace of a century enamored with clarity, just proportions, and discreet elegance. A true object of charm, at the crossroads between accent furniture, ingenious floor lamp, and collector’s piece, it tells a story of an era where refinement united with the intelligence of gesture. A noble and balanced composition made of solid mahogany and mahogany veneer, the guéridon rests on a curved tripod base, true to the aesthetic codes of the Louis XVI style. The fluted, slender, and rhythmic central shaft gives the piece an effect of verticality and natural elegance. The top features an oval marble surface, surrounded by a pierced gallery in gilded brass, highlighted by delicate circular openings in the spirit of the decorative railings of the time. A subtle highlighting of marble, noble and sober, which enhances the visual appeal of the piece. A rare and ingenious adjustable height system The top rests on a central axis adjustable in height, thanks to a discreet and smooth clamping mechanism, allowing you to adjust the height from 72 cm to 98 cm with increments of 5 cm. This technical flexibility, uncommon, is the result of refined artisan craftsmanship, designed for both utility and elegance. Today equipped with two electrified light sources, this lamp table retains its romantic dimension. It is perfectly functional, but it is also possible to restore its original purpose by removing the electrification to use it with candles, as was done in the past in interiors illuminated by dancing lights. Detailed characteristics: Period: 20th century, in the style of the 18th Century Style: Louis XVI Wood type: Solid mahogany and mahogany veneer Top: Light marble, surrounded by a pierced gallery in gilded brass Central base: Fluted column with adjustable height Adjustable height: From 72 cm to 98 cm, locking every 5 cm Electrification: Functional, with dual lighting Base: Curved tripod Condition: Excellent overall condition, harmonious patina, discreet signs of wear A rare and poetic object Few pieces manage to combine utility, decorative beauty, and refined technicality as successfully as this guéridon. It is an invitation to experience light as in the past, under the muted shade of a period salon or in the gentle ambiance of a literary office. Its antique charm, modularity, and the quality of its materials make it a precious and rare piece, both for collectors and for enthusiasts of classic decoration.
