This gueridon is a modified version of the one delivered by Bernard Molitor in 1803 to the Château de Saint-Cloud, which is now in the Petit Trianon at the Château de Versailles (inv. T 512 C). The latter originally featured a two-tiered shelf, likely like the one on this piece. The base, composed of carved figures inspired by antiquity, is connected by a curved stretcher, typical of the refined structures employed by the cabinetmaker.
