Guéridon en acajou, bois doré et micromosaïque, travail italien du début du XIXe siècle

le plateau en marbre noir de Belgique incrusté d'un médaillon central en micromosaïque représentant le temple de la Sibylle à Tivoli, dans un entourage de grecques ; les montants sommés de têtes d'oiseaux, reliés par un plateau d'entretoise et terminés par des pieds en griffe

The giltwood is a little too shiny and yellow on the photograph. The micromosaic : some possible patches restorations overall, but not visible with a naked eye. Overall good order. The marble top in good condition, as well as the marble stretcher. Very few lifts and hairline cracks to the mahogany veneer (just under the top, not distracting). Scattered chips and wear to the most exposed areas of the giltwood (especially the feet). Sound and sturdy, highly decorative, ready to be displayed.
