Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

French Empire furniture emerged during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte in the early nineteenth century. It is characterized by monumental forms, classical Roman and Egyptian motifs, dark native or imported hardwoods such as mahogany, and polished gilt-bronze mounts.

Empire gueridons were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over oak. They frequently featured thick marble tops, such as Saint Anne or fossiliferous grey marble, along with cast gilt-bronze ormolu mounts and hand-carved details.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy hand-cut joinery, solid timber cores with thick flame mahogany veneers, original chiselled ormolu mounts with mercury gilding, and period-correct marble tops showing natural wear and hand-finished edges.

A gueridon serves effectively as an anchor in an entryway or foyer, positioned centrally beneath a chandelier. It can also function as a focal point in a formal drawing room or library alongside contemporary minimalist seating.

Clean the marble surface with a pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent etching. Polish the mahogany veneer with natural beeswax, avoiding silicone-based sprays, and dust the gilt-bronze mounts gently with a soft dry brush.
