About the Item

A Neoclassical Masterpiece: Berlin Gueridon After a Design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841) In the refined world of early 19th-century Berlin, elegance met intellectual rigor—nowhere more clearly than in the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the visionary Prussian architect and designer. Among his many contributions to neoclassical aesthetics is this striking salon table, a masterpiece that reflects both ancient inspiration and modern refinement. This particular table, with its profiled, circular top made of pristine white marble resting on a baluster-shaped central; this is richly profiled and decorated with an openwork gallery and carved acanthus leaf motifs, it is supported by a classic tripod of lion's paws, captures the essence of classical harmony Its design draws heavily from antique tripods—ceremonial stands used in ancient Greece and Rome—reinterpreted through Schinkel's disciplined, architectural eye. The table’s three gracefully curving legs evoke the symmetry and symbolism of antiquity, while the delicate gilding adds a sense of imperial luxury, typical of Berlin’s early 19th-century interiors. What makes this piece exceptional is how it bridges past and present. Schinkel’s design does not merely imitate ancient forms; it revives them with a clarity and restraint that defined the German neoclassical movement. Today, such a table stands as more than a decorative object; it is a statement of timeless taste and the enduring legacy of Schinkel’s genius. Only very few pieces of furniture have suvived and are on the art market today. If you are interested, we would be happy to send you our comprehensive dossier on this table, which contains much more additional information.
