More information

In the 17th century, a furniture group was created consisting of a mirror, a table and a pair of pedestals, so-called gueridones, for candlesticks. The copper engraving by the French designer Jean Lepautre (1618-82) shows such a furniture group in sculpted wood. Up to and including the Empire in the first half of the 1800s, gueridones were manufactured. At Rosersberg Castle north of Stockholm, there are a couple of late Gustavian gueridones which are almost identical to the lot number. The late Gustavian interior of Rosersberg was made for the Swedish king Karl XIII in the early 1800s.
