This type of multi-purpose table/jardinière was known as a table à fleurs in the 18th Century. Examples of this general type, although rectangular and larger, with removable marble tops above a lead-lined jardinière include those recorded in the inventory taken following the death of comte Francois Martial de Choiseul Beaupré, Menin du Dauphin and Lieutenant Général des armies du Roi, in 1792. These were described in the salon of his hôtel on the quai Malaquai: 'deux consoles de bois d'acajou à double fond garnie de cuivre, anneaux et perles de cuivre doré surmonté de leur tablettes de marbre garnies en dedans de caisse de plomb pour recevoir des caisses 240'.
