Three-Tiered Silver-Plated Metal Stand with Openwork Galleries and Work

This side table features a quadrangular structure in silvered metal with fluted supports topped with pine cone finials. Three smoked glass shelves, set in molded frames and bordered by openwork galleries with crisscross patterns, create a rhythmic height. The entire piece rests on original casters that facilitate movement. The ornamental vocabulary—openwork galleries, pine cones, fluted shafts—stylistically connects this piece to the productions of the Maison Baguès, a Parisian reference for flying furniture in gilded or silvered metal since the 19th century, whose neoclassical taste has captivated the greatest decorators. The silvered finish, rarer than gilded brass, gives it a particular elegance. Condition report: Overall good condition. Silvered metal with a soft and uniform patina, smoked glasses may show probable surface micro-scratches inherent to use, functional casters. A practical and refined flying piece, suitable as a side table in the living room or as a bedside table in a bedroom.
