A PAIR OF GERMAN WHITE-PAINTED, GILT-GESSO AND PARCEL-GILT DEMI-LUNE PIER TABLES
CIRCA 1810
Each with white-marble top above a palm-swagged frieze centred by a sun flower, on eagle's head monopodia, joined by crossed arrows centred by foliate-patterned roundels, one marble top replaced, redecorated, both with 'EBBUTT'S (CROYDON) LTD.' depository label
35 in. (89 cm.) high; 43 in. (109 cm.) wide; 20½ in. (52 cm.) deep (2)

Acquired from Mallett by the previous owners as part of Stéphane Boudin of Maison Jansen's scheme of decoration.

Specialist note

The tables are conceived as antique altars with Grecian palm-flowered friezes. Their fluted pillars incorporate eagle-heads and lion-feet evoking the chimerical griffin sacred to Apollo and are joined by trophies of the hunter-deity's arrows.
