This marble-topped sideboard-table, with festive satyr-masked and truss-scrolled 'console' pilasters enwreathed by Minerva 'draco' serpents, is designed in the 1720s French 'picturesque' fashion and is copied from a Versailles table that entered the French Crown Collections under Louis-Philippe in 1835. Patterns for related tables appeared in Nouveaux Desseins de Pieds de Tables by Nicolas Pineau (d.1754), some of whose designs appeared in Mariettes edition of Davilers, Cours D'architecture, 1738.
