Adrien-Faizelot Delorme, maître in 1748.
Established in the rue du Temple, the marchand-ébéniste Adrien-Faizelot Delorme earned renown for his sophisticated floral marquetry, with contemporary almanacs describing him as l'un des plus habiles et des plus renommés pour les ouvrages de marqueterie. This table displays a characteristic feature of his oeuvre, the use of richly contrasting veneers in a chevron pattern, enriching the backs of the legs. A virtually identical table stamped by Delorme and also fitted with the silk screen was sold from the Alexander Collection at Christie’s, New York, 30 April 1999, lot 120 ($266,500). An unstamped table of this model, displaying the same distinctive angle-mounts, although without the rare feature of the rising silk screen to the reverse, formerly in the collection of the Dowager Viscountess Harcourt was sold Christie's London, 6 July 1961, lot 40, and subsequently resold from the Patiño collection, Sotheby's, New York, 1 November 1986, lot 66. A further example stamped by Gilles Joubert, the fournisseur du Garde-Meuble between 1751-1775, with very similar treatment of the marquetry, was supplied for the use of Madame Victoire at the château de Fontainebleau in 1770 and is now in the Musée du Louvre (inv. no. OA 9335). It is interesting to note, therefore, that in the 1771 inventory of Joubert's stock, a 'Delorme' was owed 313 livres pour fourniture qui lui ont été faites.
