A console table, attributed to Jean-Baptiste-Claude Sené (maître in 1769), with a similarly carved stylized, flowerhead frieze was sold anonymously at Sotheby's New York, 25 May 2000, lot 374 ($23,500). With its foliate-carved voluted front supports and stretcher surmounted by a Neo-Classical urn, this console table relates to one also attributed to Sené and sold anonymously in these Rooms, 26 October 2001, lot 279 ($37,600). The production of consoles by menuisiers en sièges is rare but not unknown, Georges Jacob, Louis Delanois, and Jean-Baptiste Boulard being among the leading chair-makers who successfully did both.
