Antique wooden geridon stand of the late nineteenth century is made of solid walnut. The form of such tables on a high leg has been known since antiquity under the name of monopodia. This type of furniture returned to Europe in seventeenth-century France. Geridons became especially popular in the second half of the nineteenth century, often acquiring very interesting forms. The column of this object is designed in the form of a griffin and the tripod is richly decorated with three-dimensional carvings with animal hooves at the ends. The upper shelf is of curly shape with a carved frieze around the perimeter. The object is distinguished by extremely skillful and detailed carving.
