A rare and handsome First Empire period pedestal table in blond walnut, tripod base, with top edged in Ardennes green marble, central column axis tightened by a nut ending at the top in a tapered round basket turning at mid-height with a noici wood baluster motif; it is very elegant with its gilded bronze stars and its chased guilloche candlestick removable by a small bronze hand serving as a lock on the retractable pull (for the comfort of an evening's work and to better "see in"). The rotating basket can be used to hold skeins and various spools or fabric samples, while the candlestick is judiciously placed to illuminate the work in progress. Unusual and elegant, complete, of reasonable size (a piece of furniture to be moved for a lady of quality). In very good condition and complete, it's a charming piece of furniture that can be used as a stylish sofa end and to hold a lamp, for example....Ideal for the living room.
