Decorated with distinctive bois de boût marquetry, this table is clearly inspired by the famous model executed by the ébéniste Bernard van Risen Burgh, BVRB. The group of 18th century small marquetry inlaid tables of this model were all made for sale by a marchand-mercier like Lazare Duvaux, who is known to have supplied furniture by van Risen Burgh to Madame de Pompadour (F.J.B. Watson, The Antique Collector, December 1960, p. 227ff.).
This table is almost identical - save for the design of the marquetry - to that depicted in a portrait of Madame de Pompadour by François Boucher of 1756 and undoubtedly supplied by a marchand-mercier, probably Duvaux. Of the 18th century tables of this model, two are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (F. J. B. Watson, The Wrightsman Collection, New York, 1966, vol. 1, cat. nos. 125 and 126) and others were sold from the Riahi Collection, Christie's, New York, 2 November 2000, lots 12-14.
This table bears the brand - probably spurious - of Louis Jean-Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre, Grand Admiral de France (1725-1793) at Châteauneuf-sur-Loire. This château was originally built by the architect Mansart at the end of the 17th century for the Philippeaux de la Vrillière family. It was later purchased from the Rohan-Guéméné family by Louis Jean-Marie de Bourbon, duc de Penthièvre and grandson of Louis XIV, who purchased the contents of the château for the considerable sum of 50,000 livres. The furnishings of the château were seized at the Revolution, sent initially to Tours and then to Paris where they were sold without reserve.
