Specialist note
Adrien Faizelot Delorme, maître in 1748.
Delorme's reputation was founded on his sophisticated floral marquetry, with contemporary Almanachs describing him as 'l'un des plus habiles et des plus renommés pour les ouvrages de marqueterie'. This table à rognon displays another feature characteristic for his oeuvre, the use of richly contrasting veneers in a chevron-pattern. This can be seen on the interior of a table by Delorme illustrated in A. Pradère, Les Ebénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, fig.165, p.181, as well as on the legs of a table sold from the Alexander Collection, Christie's New York, 30 April 1999, lot 120.
