Description
A French neoclassical style side table, or gueridon, dating to the late 19th century. The table is constructed from green onyx, black marble with gold-toned veining consistent with Portoro marble, and cast metal components. The octagonal top features an intricate geometric stone inlay composed of a central green onyx circular panel bordered by a ring of black marble. Four radiating marble bands extend to the corners, separating larger trapezoidal panels of green onyx. The top is finished with a vertical stone-clad apron. The table stands on four cylindrical legs featuring alternating sections of marble and onyx accented with metal collars and caps. The legs are joined near the base by a cast metal X-stretcher with curved arms decorated with foliate and mask motifs, meeting at a central hub topped with a decorative finial. The table terminates in fluted, tapered metal feet.
25 x 18 x 18 inches.
Condition report:
This item is in poor condition with significant structural and cosmetic defects requiring professional restoration. A large section of the black marble inlay on the top is broken and missing, revealing the underlying plaster mounting bed. One rectangular segment of the green onyx apron is detached but present. One of the four metal stretcher arms has snapped off at the point where it meets the leg assembly. The metal components show significant tarnishing and a darkened patina consistent with age. General surface dirt, wear, and minor chipping to stone edges are present.
