Charles Topino, maître in 1773.

This model of table/gueridon-stand, conceived as a Louis Seize 'athénienne' altar inlaid in celebration of the pastoral life, was popularised by the family of ébénistes of Marseilles and Paris, that focused around Charles Topino of the faubourg Saint-Antoine. He made a speciality of related 'sujets chinois' and 'poteries chinoises' in the manner seen on lacquered screens, and related marquetry is listed during the 1770s in his Daybook or Livre-journal. Related tables in the Royal Ontario Museum and the Detroit Institute of Art are illustrated in Sylvain Barbier Sainte Maire, 'Charles Topino', L'Estampille/L'Objet d'Art, October 1999, figs. 6 and 23.
