The distinctive use of X-form stretchers to join the legs for greater stability is seen on two pairs of tables supplied by the Florentine furniture-maker and carver Lorenzo Dolci to the Palazzo Pitti circa 1788 (see E. Colle, I Mobili di Palazzo Pitti Il Primo Periodo Lorenese, Florence, 1992, pp. 121-3, cats. 50 and 51). The use of lion monopodia by Florentine carvers is seen on a giltwood console supplied in 1833 to the Palazzo Pitti (see E. Colle, I Mobili di Palazzo Pitti Il Secondo Periodo Lorenese, Florence, 2000, p. 202, cat. 117).
