Lot Essay

This elegant centre table is based on the celebrated console double faces supplied by Jacob-Desmalter for the apartment of Caroline Murat at the Palais de l'Elysée in 1808 which is now at the Grand Trianon (illustrated in D. Ledoux-Lebard, Les Ebénistes du XIXème Siècle, 2nd ed., p. 271).
