Lot Essay

The classically-draped figures in the present pair of tables are after a model featuring in a console double face designed in 1808 by François-Honoré-Georges Jacob dit Jacob-Desmalter (d. 1841) for the bedroom of Caroline Murat at the palais d'Elysée and now in the Grand Trianon at Versailles (see D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Grand Trianon, Meubles et objets d'art, Paris, 1975, Vol. I, p. 25).
