Condition
Illustration is quite accurate. Original and rare model, the veneer in fine condition with light lifting on the base. Minor scratches. The frieze with some elements which need to be refixed (easy to do). The frieze also fitted with additional piece of wood (about 1cm high) marble top with minor scratches and stains. The central pierced stem has been slightly restored. The finials of the rail below the marble top were probably originally decorated with gilt-bronze ornaments such as balls.

Catalogue Note
Le style néo-gothique est un style architectural né au milieu du XVIIIème siècle en Angleterre qui prend son envol en même temps que le mouvement romantique. Certains amateurs éclairés tels qu’Horace Walpole ou William Beckford ont fortement contribué à l’émergence d’un engouement pour le Moyen Age, puis Pugin et de Ruskin ont théorisé ce mouvement. Ce mouvement s’étendit dans toute l’Europe et gagna aussi les arts décoratifs. La France fut plus longue à être gagnée par cet engouement, Napoléon Ier prônant le classicisme le plus rigoureux. Bien que Joséphine aimât le style Troubadour, il faudra attendre la Restauration pour voir le plein épanouissement de ce style promu cette fois par l'atelier de la princesse Marie d'Orléans, deuxième fille de Louis-Philippe, aux Tuileries.
