A 19th century antique pair of occasional side tables (guéridons) in the Louis XVI Neoclassical style, featuring inlay work and bronze ormolu dating from a period of revival (likely mid to late 19th). The marquetry tops feature a central dark field that contrasts with a warm, lighter wood to depict a finely detailed classical trophy with musical attributes, sheaves, and ribbons, all framed by elegant scrolling foliage.
Top tier features a pierced gallery rimming the tabletop, protecting items from slipping, ornate decorative ormolu mounts flowing down the top of each tapering leg with protective metal sabots. The lower, cross-shaped stretcher shelf also features marquetry.
This pair is in good antique condition, consistent with pieces over a century old. The wood veneer and finish have a beautiful, deep patina with some surface wear and small, expected age marks. The marquetry is intact and vibrant with just some age-related cracking. The structure is delicate and slightly wobbly, reflecting the fragility of their age, and are best suited for decorative use rather than heavy lifting or everyday dining.
They are the perfect size for use as chic end tables, display stands, or elegant bedside tables in a master bedroom.
