About the Item

A Fine Quality Late 19th/Early 20th Century Gilt Bronze and Marble Two Tier French Gueridon with Neoclassical Detailing French Circa 1900 Conceived in the late Louis XVI style, this table fuses the finest materials with exceptional design. Made from gilt bronze with two tiers of inset marble, this is a luxury piece of furniture and no expense was spared in its construction. It was almost certainly made in Paris around the turn of the 20th century by one of the major workshops there. Having a tripartite platform stretcher base which has been finely pierced and adorned by a cast gilt bronze urn in the form of a flaming cassolette or perfume burner with rams' head and feet and the larger table utilises this same decorative scheme. The feet are finely chased hooves, applied as an additional mounts to the gilt bronze legs in the form of sabots, and on the frieze at the top of the table are three quite wonderfully well observed and executed rams' heads of particularly large and important size. The rest of the frame of the table, comprising of two tiers mounted in gilt bronze with everted half beaded rims and three leg supports, also with beaded detail, is of uniformly high quality as well. Two tier gueridons are more unusual than their single tier equivalents and what also catches the eye here is the uncommon choice of marble possibly Lumachella marble. Both tiers utilise examples of the same stone, a finely veined creamish-yellow stone with veins of pink, orange and brown. The combination of the colours of the marble and the gilded bronze is a very effective one. Our piece is a fine and decorative example with bronze work of the highest quality and would enhance any collection. Width: 30 inches- 77cm Height: 27 inches - 69cm Depth: 30 inches- 77cm

Regency Amboyna and Brass Inlaid Gilt Bronze Mounted Pier Table
Located in Benington, Herts
An extremely elegant, rare Regency amboyna and brass inlaid gilt bronze mounted pier table. Provenance Part of Sir William Whitfield Collection. English Regency period, Circa 1815. The raised back with open shelf, surmounted by a pierced anthemion three quarter brass gallery above a rectangular mirror plate, flanked by gilt bronze pierced foliate scrolled supports, over a finely coloured amboyna and banded top above cut brass inlaid frieze drawer decorated with anthemion and flower head motif. The dual tapering scroll supports with palmette lappet surmounts and cut brass inlay terminate on gilt bronze claw feet, flanking a later large mirror plate to the rear, raised on a inverted breakfront plinth base edged with gilt bonze beading. Formerly in the collection of Sir William Whitfield. This elegant Regency pier table is a superb example with its fine quality mounts and distinctive amboyna veneers which are rarely found on furniture of this period. The condition is excellent, having the most wonderful colour and patination to the finest cuts of amboyna that would have been available, during the early 19th century this veneer was thought to be worth more in its weight than gold. This table would have almost certainly been especially commissioned, further research maybe undertaken to find a comparative example and insight to a potential maker. As such pieces in amboyna are far rarer, an example of pier table has yet to be found, but an amboyna sofa table with extremely similar brass inlay and form can be seen in Clifford Musgrave’s book Regency Furniture, published by Faber and Faber in 1961, plate 63. It is from the Royal Collection and the caption includes ‘made about 1816 for Clarement,’ (Claremont) ‘ Esher, Surrey, home of the Princess Charlotte...
