19TH/20TH CENTURY, PARTIALLY REDECORATED,

A design for a side table with very similar fasces-form legs published by Duguers de Montrosier in 1806 for the Exposition de produits de l'industrie français, now in the Bibliotheque Marmottan, is illustrated in D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Mobilier Français du XIXe Siècle 1795-1889 , Paris, 1989, p. 176. A table made after the design also by Duguers de Montrosier, executed in mahogany and ormolu in the same year, was purchased by the Imperial Garde Meuble in 1812 and is conserved in the Mobilier National (op. cit, p.176).
