The tripartite design and use of burlwood on this lot relates to a group of gueridons by Weisweiler which were retailed by Dominique Daguerre, the fashionable marchand-mercier. One of these tables is illustrated in P. Lemonnier, Weisweiler, 1983, p. 90 and another was sold Christie's London, 10 June 1993, lot 26. As Weisweiler was working almost exclusively for Daguerre at this time, it seems likely that the latter was probably responsible for the design of this table.
