"Gueridon en cul-de-lampes" is an anonymous 18th-century design plate from the Rijksmuseum, showcasing three variations of a "cul-de-lampe" (wall bracket) and a gueridon (a small, pedestal table). The plate's engraved lines depict the intricate details of each design, featuring ornate floral motifs and delicate carvings. These designs would have been influential in the Rococo style of furniture, embodying the period's emphasis on asymmetry, curved lines, and lighthearted decoration.
