This elegant center table, designed in the goût Weisweiler, epitomizes the supreme quality of Sormani's oeuvre. The model was also produced by Sormani's contemporary, Henry Dasson. An example of Dasson's rendition, dated 1867 and formerly in the collection of Pierre Lecoules, is illustrated in D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le mobilier français du XIXe siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 148. An 1884 example, also by Dasson, was sold at Christie's, London, 29 March 2007, lot 96 (£216,000).
