Descriptif du lot

The table's serpentined frame with voluted feet corresponds to that of the Louis XV 'cabriolet' armchair such as featured in Thomas Malton's Compleat Treatise on Perspective, 1775, pl. 33, fig. 131).
The fan-motif on the cabriole legs of this card-table is very similar to that on a pembroke-table illustrated in C. Claxton Stevens and S. Whittington's, 18th Century Furniture, The Norman Adams Collection, Woodbridge, 1985, p.320-321.
