Catalogue Note
A very similar table, described as English and circa 1825, in the Wallace Collection is discussed Peter Hughes, The Wallace Collection: Catalogue of Furniture, Vol. II, London, 1996, no. 226, (F 310), pp. 1149-1152. Incorporating an earlier Sèvres plaque, the table was purchased from the St. Dunstan's Villa sale by the 4th Marquess of Hertford in 1855. It was first mentioned at St. Dunstan's in 1842. Conceived in the "neo-Louis" style popularized in the 1820's by the Paris marchand-mercier Maelrondt and frequently executed by the ébéniste Bélanger, this style of furniture was very popular with English clients.
