Guéridon Porte-Lumière de Style Louis XVI - Elegance, Ingenuity and Refinement
At the crossroads between occasional furniture, ingenious floor lamp and collector's piece, this rare Louis XVI-style guéridon porte-lumière alone embodies the architectural grace of a century enamored of clarity, right proportions and understated elegance. A veritable object of charm, it recounts an era when refinement was combined with intelligence of gesture.
A noble balance with neoclassical accents
Made of solid mahogany and mahogany veneer, this pedestal table rests on a curved tripod base, faithful to the aesthetic canons of the Louis XVI style. The central fluted shaft, slender and rhythmic, lends the ensemble an elegant, timeless verticality.
The oval top in pale marble, encircled by an openwork gallery in gilded brass, evokes the decorative railings of the 18th century, adding a touch of sophistication and light to this sober, refined composition.
An adjustable mechanism of rare ingenuity
The top rests on a central axle equipped with a height adjustment system that is as discreet as it is effective, allowing the height of the top to be varied between 72 cm and 98 cm, with notches every 5 cm. This system is a testament to high quality craftsmanship, combining aesthetics and functionality.
A poetically charming light-furniture
Now equipped with two electrified light arms, this floor lamp retains its romantic and versatile dimension. It can be fitted with modern light bulbs, while offering the possibility of returning to its original use: candlelight, for a cosy, authentic ambience.
