Rectangular body on straight sides and curved legs and hoof-shaped feet. The sides inlaid with allegorical depictions of love, the back with a flower vase. The front with a door inlaid with a landscape of ruins and horsemen, opening onto four drawers. The top rounded at the corners, inlaid with musical instrument medallions in a rectangular reserve, lined with decorative friezes and a flower garland, and with a pierced brass gallery on three sides.

Provenance:
Although the little table on offer is not signed, the quality of the marquetry and the gilt bronze mounts suggest that it was produced in Paul Sormani's workshop. Cf. an almost identical pair of gueridons by the Sormani company: Christopher Payne: Paris Furniture The Luxury Market of the 19th Century. Saint-Rémy-en-L'Eau, 2018, pp. 236/237.
