Description of the Item
Rectangular Gueridon (Pedestal Table) in Mahogany and Mahogany veneer. The tilting top surface is decorated by a needlepoint tapestry representing a "corbeille a fleur" (flower basket) topped with a bird.
This tapestry is placed under a glass plate to protect it from everyday use of the table. The table tripod foot is decorated in its uper section with twisted cabling.
