53 The Gueridon 19th Century centre table in the hallway is also one of the more notable antiques within the house. The table is such an essential ergonomic piece in the room with an almost orbital pull around it. It is both the first piece you see when entering and leaving the house but also a sort of pivotal round about at the heart of the property that leads you around into the four adjoining rooms and up the staircase from the entrance hall. We wanted to make sure it was perfect for the space. After a lot of searching, we managed to find this one from a dealer in Belgium and immediately had it shipped over. It has beautifully hand carved light timber legs with lions paw feet and a stunning marble top with small fossil marks engrained into it. www.albion-nord.com Image credits: Marylebone Terrace, Albion Nord.
