Side table or “guéridon”. Mahogany, gilt bronze, onyx (possibly from Algeria). France, towards the end of the 19th century. Octagonal mahogany side table with a top made of light-coloured onyx or onyx. It has four legs joined at the bottom with a curved frame, which are joined in a central piece topped by a small vase-shaped piece. At the waist, gilded bronze applications of a classicist influence can be seen between the cubes that finish off the legs, which are decorated with bronze applications. Between each two legs there is a wooden pendant. There are known examples preserved in private collections of French furniture with onyx tops, of similar colours to this one, from Algeria. Stylistically, the table shows a strong French and neoclassical influence, with elements (the pendants) considered to have an orientalist touch.
