This delicate oval-shaped table inlaid with charming marquetry depicting teapots, vessels, flower-filled vases and urns is characteristic of the work of the ébéniste Charles Topino, maître in 1773. With his workshop on the rue Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, Topino specialized in small movable tables and much of his work in marquetry is of the type seen on this bonheur-du-jour, where the motifs have been inspired by the ornamental borders of Chinese coromandel lacquer screens. From his daybook which survives, it is known that Topino executed completed works and provided marquetry panels of this type for his colleagues the marchand-ébénistes, such as Léonard Boudin whose livre de commandes refers to a significant number of tables à marqueterie de vases, supplied by Topino between 1772 and 1774 (See A. Pradère, Les Ébénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p.319.).

The present bonheur-du-jour is virtually identical to several published tables of this form stamped by Topino and also with nearly identical marquetry and mounts. One such table is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris 1989, p. 842, pl. B, and a highly similar pair of bonheur-du-jour sold at Sotheby's London, 23 June 1985, lot 781. A related oval table by Topino but without a superstructure is in the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris.
