Specialist note

Roger Vandercruse, known as Lacroix, maître in 1755.

With its light bois citronnier ground, delicate trellis work and swirling acanthus inlay, this elegant, small gueridon is typical of Lacroix’s work during the 1770s and early 1780s.  Other tables with closely related inlay include a table with similar circular acanthus inlay sold from a private European collection, Christie's, Paris, 22 June 2005, lot 154; another table with similar inlay sold anonymously, Sotheby's, New York, 24 October 2003, lot 30. A table with flower-filled trellis parquetry but with similar circular geometric acanthus motif at the center of the top and undertier sold from the collection of the late André Meyer, Christie's, New York, 26 October 26, 2001, lot 40.
