About the Item
Important 19th Century Rococo Gilt Bronze & Malachite Guéridon. This magnificent table is designed and made in the most superb sculptural of rococo form, this finely cast polished & gilded solid Bronze masterpiece, incorporates a truly fabulous Malachite top. The top is an absolute work of art, displaying the most dramatic of vibrant figurations and colour, the centre radiating out highlighting the gorgeous magnificence of this most favoured of Russian gemstones. All set within the most exquisitely sculpted ‘’C’’ scrolled and flowing acanthus cast rim, supported and held by three acanthus leaf branches, which then scroll to join a central swirling column of the upmost beauty, leading to three of the most intensely drawn and shaped flowered lattice & ‘’C’’ scrolled legs you could ever wish to see. An absolute sublime masterpiece. In excellent condition with the gilding being fully returned to its original rich opulence.
Malachite has been used throughout history to decorate palaces around the world. In Russia you will find the Malachite Room in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, which was the former residence of the Russian Tsars. The name Malachite is believed to come from the Greek word “molochitus”, referring to the mallow leaf which is similar in colour. Malachite has been used by humans since antiquity and was believed to protect one from evil. In Ancient Egypt, the colour green was highly symbolic, representing new life and fertility. Ancient Egyptians referred to the eternal paradise they believed awaited them in the afterlife as the “Field of Malachite”. In Ancient Greece and Rome, Malachite was carved into amulets, jewellery, and statuary. Ancient Romans referred to Malachite as the "peacock stone", associated with the Queen of the Gods, Juno.
A truly majestic & palatial masterpiece.
