Catalogue Note
Ce guéridon témoigne du renouveau du goût pour la marqueterie Boulle, ici traitée différement ; les parties dorées simulent le laiton tandis que le fond rouge évoque l'écaille de tortue. Les cartouches à sujet de fables mythologiques s'incrivent dans l'esthétique du temps. La technique du verre églomisé permet d'obtenir un décor d'une grande pécision rehaussé de reflets métalliques impossible à obtenir sur la porcelaine, support également utilisé à cette époque pour décorer les plateaux de certains guéridons.
