The story

Designed by Henri Pouenat in France in the 1960s, this gueridon features silky wrought iron legs with a beautiful rounded top that have been gilded with gold leaf for a gentle warm golden patina throughout the entire structure. A perfect piece to use as an occasional table, end table, candle stand, drinks table or smokers table. It looks minimal and elegant, and has a lovely timeless aesthetic, typical of the French neoclassical and mid-century modern design. Its size makes it ideal as a decorative and functional piece in any living room. A similar gueridon sold for €5,000 at Sotheby’s auction “ Pierre Bergé : From one home to another” on 30 October 2018.

About Henri Pouenat

Henri Pouenat belongs to a French family of metalworkers established in 1880, today known as Maison Pouenat. Trained as a goldsmith, he designed furniture and lighting in bronze and brass, applying the precision of silversmithing to tables, gueridons and decorative pieces with finely chased or polished surfaces. His pieces, such as the Dani gueridon, are valued for their workmanship and the quality of their metal finishes.
