Guéridon porte-lumières en acajou mouluré d'époque Louis XVI

le plateau circulaire en marbre bleu turquin reposant sur un fût cannelé, terminé par un piètement tripode et des roulettes en laiton

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout due to age and use. There is a small and very thin crack on the marble top. The marble top is slightly scratched and there is a small stain from a label which can be removed easily. The marble top has been varnished and the varnish has turned a little yellow. There are some scratches and dents on the legs and most of the scratches are superficial and they are only on the varnish. There are some old traces of woodworm underneath the marble top. The castors are later. Very elegant model with a very nice construction.
