Small Italian gueridon. Piero Fornasetti style, ca. 1950's.
Carved and gilded wood.
Presents unhinged on the envelope.
Measurements: 42 x 48 x 48 cm.

Italian Gueridon in carved wood, with gilded and hand-painted details, with the envelope decorated with the linear representation of ancient musical instruments, such as a lyre and cornucopias. The foot presents a bulbous design with grooves in the form of vegetal ribs. The base, in the form of an inverted tulip, rises on scallops. It is a singular design, handcrafted and original, of Greco-Roman inspiration but freely recreated. It recalls the furniture designs of Piero Fornasetti.
