{"product_id":"french-table-with-marble-top","title":"Antique French Louis XVI-Style Guéridon Table with Marble Top and Brass Gallery","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe guéridon is one of the most quietly elegant inventions of French furniture design — a small, purposeful table made for the things you actually reach for. This late 19th-century example works in the Louis XVI revival manner: four tapered legs with subtle fluting, brass sabots, a pierced brass gallery at the rim, and a circular marble top with the kind of grey veining that only comes with age. At 20 inches tall and 18 inches across, it is genuinely useful — the right scale for a lamp, a book, a glass of something — and it disappears gracefully into almost any room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI revival\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Origin | France\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Date | Late 19th century, ca. 1890–1910\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Construction | Ebonized or darkened mahogany frame; four tapered fluted legs; brass sabots; decorative brass mounts at leg tops; pierced brass gallery at rim; inset circular marble top\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Materials | Ebonized mahogany, brass, marble\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Dimensions | 20\" H × 18\" diameter\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Top | Circular marble with natural grey veining and patina\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Gallery | Original pierced brass, nicely aged\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Legs | Four tapered, lightly fluted, with brass detail at capital and foot\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[d]Finish | Dark, ebonized or heavily darkened mahogany frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[condition]The marble top has a repaired crack — the break has been glued and is structurally stable, with a flush surface fit to the wood base. The crack is visible on close inspection and should be considered when photographing or placing the piece. The brass gallery and frame show age-appropriate oxidation and minor wear consistent with a working antique. The legs are sturdy; reinforcing the joinery at container arrival is recommended for long-term stability. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe marble top sits off-center within the brass gallery ring — the overhang is visibly uneven, with one side extending significantly further than the other. This suggests the stone has shifted from its seat, or that the marble is a later replacement that does not fit the original mount precisely. No veneer loss, no missing brass components.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49703537541398,"sku":"AMD-0494","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/5DC45F83-FAA0-4D00-9D5E-917034AAB2E2_1_105_c.jpg?v=1759771767","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/french-table-with-marble-top","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
