The gueridon was made in France in gilt bronze in the nineteenth century according to the models of the empire style and classicism. Above it has a circular basin decorated with leonine head with a ring between the jaws. The structure is a tripod and the arched legs join on a tripartite base resting on footrests.
Very decorative and versatile it can be placed in indoor spaces or outside under porches or indoor areas, used as a planter.
If you want you can exhibit it with a plan, like the one we propose in the picture, in different marbles of the eighteenth century, in order to use it as a gueridon, or as a support for sculptures or other decorative objects.
