19th Century French Breccia Pedestal Table

Crafted in France during the 19th century, this guéridon is executed in the neoclassical style of the Empire and Restauration periods. Typologically, the object corresponds to a pedestal. The removable circular top consists of a polychrome breccia with ochre, brick-red, and cream-white inclusions. It rests on a waisted, turned baluster shaft made of a homogeneous rose-colored stone, which transitions into a round base. The lower section terminates in three fully sculpted stone lion paw feet, known as pieds en griffe. The mineral surfaces exhibit an age-related patina, while visible historical fillings and structural stabilizations are present at the shaft transition and on the paw feet.
