Adam Weisweiler, maître in 1778.
These elegant consoles exemplify the understated, sober style of the 1780's promoted by marchands merciers such as Dominique Daguerre, and which found its perfect expression in the oeuvre of Adam Weisweiler.
Similar attenuated, slender fluted supports and toupie feet appear on a console stamped by both Weisweiler and Beneman, illustrated in P. Lemonnier, Weisweiler, Paris, 1983, p. 128, and on a bonheur du jour by Weisweiler illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 866. A further related console attributed to Weisweiler and sharing the unusual feature of having fluted toupie feet was with Partridge Fine Arts Ltd., London in 1983 (illustrated in Summer Exhibition, cat. 38).
