What is a gueridon table?

A gueridon is a small table originally designed in 17th-century France to hold candlesticks and other decorative objects, gueridons are usually round and supported by ornate legs, columns or carved figures.

French Empire-style gueridons or Greco-Roman-inspired tables can be used as end tables for holding beverages in a living room or boudoir tables to place favorite books or a table lamp.

Alternatively, a mid-century modern gueridon could find a home as a console table in a foyer as a receptacle for house keys and personal items when you come home, while an Art Deco gueridon could be the center of attention in a handsome library or a study. Antique and vintage gueridons add beautiful form as well as function to any room — the possibilities of these versatile pieces are endless.
