36 ½ in. (93 cm.) high, 16 ½ in. (42 cm.) diameter

專家說明

At this stand's center is an iridescently-patinated phoenix intended to resemble Japanese metalworks known as mokume. Similar designs incorporating this design are repeated throughout Cornu's oeuvre, particularly a number of onyx guéridons of the present design or centered with a crane and a series of baluster vases repeating the motif, such as one sold at Christie's, London, 24 May 2018, lot 609 (£60,000).
