Gueridon designed by Gustav Siegel and produced excellently by the brothers Jacob & Josef Kohn. Below the top we find the original production mark of the Kohn brothers. Designed in 1905, the gueridon is part of the: 728 Fledermaus and 729 model series. Similar published example. The gueridon has both a circular base and top, supported by eight legs divided two by two. Special details such as wooden spheres placed in the middle of each pair of legs distinguish the designer's style. In the center of the top we find a velvet cloth.
