This Antique French Empire Revival guéridon table, dating to the early 20th century, is a refined and well-balanced example of classical French decorative furniture. The circular top is beautifully executed in book-matched kingwood veneer, arranged in a radial pattern that highlights the natural grain and warm tonal variation of the wood. Surrounding the top is a finely cast ormolu border with repeating classical medallion motifs, lending the table a strong architectural presence and a distinctly Empire character.
Supporting the top is an elegant base composed of curved legs joined by a central standard, creating a sculptural and visually grounded form. At the heart of the design is a richly detailed gilt bronze winged female figure, inspired by classical and Egyptian motifs popular during the Empire Revival period. This dramatic element serves as both a visual focal point and a structural anchor, while the contrast between the polished wood and gilded bronze gives the table depth, richness, and decorative impact.
The table is in nice antique condition, consistent with age and normal use. There is some minor sun fading to the finish on the top, visible primarily in certain lighting, as well as slight buckling to sections of the ormolu ring around the edge due to natural shrinkage of the underlying wood over time. These condition details are subtle and do not detract from the overall presentation or structural integrity of the piece, instead serving as honest signs of age. Solid and well-made, this guéridon works beautifully as a center table, lamp table, or accent piece, offering both historical presence and refined French elegance. 31h x 32w x 32d
