Lot Essay

Léonard Boudin maître in 1761

An identical gueridon by RVLC is in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and illustrated in Clarisse Roinet, Roger Vandercruse dit La Croix, Paris, 2000, p.90, fig. 34.
A very similar gueridon, without the candle branches, sold Drouot, Paris, 29 May 1996, lot 223, and another example, also by RVLC sold Christie's Paris, 7 December 2001, lot 640.
This model, also called table en marmotte and invented by Simon Philippe Poirier, is often decorated with porcelain plaques on examples by Martin Carlin.
