About the Item

A Fine Napoléon III Gilt-Bronze Mounted and Sèvres Style Porcelain-Inset Onyx Guéridon. The circular top inset with a large circular porcelain plaque painted with Madame de Pompadour in her study signed '(AM)P. Juéry' within gilt bronze border. Surrounded by nine smaller oval portraits of noble ladies, each titled beneath. On a cylindrical onyx column mounted within three large acanthus scrolls united by floral swags raised on tripartite base with inset guilloche frieze, raised on castors. The painted porcelain roundel of Madame de Pompadour in her Study is after a pastel by Maurice Quentin de La Tour (1704–1788) which hangs in the Louvre Museum, Paris (INV 27614). Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (1721 –1764), commonly known as Madame de Pompadour, was a member of the French court. She was the official chief mistress of King Louis XV from 1745 to 1751. On this table she is surrounded by oval portrait medallions of luminary ladies of the period and members of Louis XV’s circle, including his queen Marie Leszczyńska, the mathematician Émilie du Châtelet, the Marquise de Créquy, Madame de Mouchy, Princess de Lamballe and the king’s last mistress, Madame du Barry. France, Circa 1870.

Napoleon III Algerian Onyx-Marble Centre Table, by Maison Marnyhac
By Maison Marnyhac 1
Located in Brighton, West Sussex
A Napoleon III gilt-bronze and onyx centre table, By Maison Marnyhac, Paris. Signed to the edge of the stretcher 'MAISON MARNYHAC 1. RUE DE LA PAIX PARIS'. This opulent centre table has a beautifully patterned onyx top inset within stiff-leaf cast gilt-bronze border and guilloche patterned frieze. The legs modelled as female terms with arms crossed and holding atop their heads flower filled baskets. The lower part of the legs are formed as tapering pilasterrs joined by an elaborate loop stretcher with central platform. France, Circa 1865 This table is exemplary of the finest luxury furniture made during the opulent Second Empire period. The use of Algerian onyx-marble is especially indicative of this period as it was not until the 1840s that the quarries near Constantine in Algeria, then under French rule, which had been abandoned since antiquity, were rediscovered. Alphonse Pallu et Cie presented the stone at the Exhibition of Algerian Products in Paris in 1860 and established the Compagnie des Marbres Onyx...
