Note du spécialiste

With its spirally-fluted turned tapering legs, distinctive stretcher, lush garlands and central wreath, this lot is very similar to a side table and pair of corner consoles en suite sold from the Alexander Collection at Christie’s, New York, 30 April 1999, lots 78 ($310,550) and 79 ($255,500), respectively.
A pair of giltwood consoles displaying almost identical legs and with variants to the floral garlands of the stretchers and different feet and ribbon-ties, was sold anonymously at Ader Picard Tajan, Paris, 10 December 1989, lot 175. A further pair of tables with closely related pendant floral swags and frieze, formerly in the Fourdinois sale, 24 January 1887, was illustrated in the privately printed catalogue of the Collection Cottreau, ed. G. Petit, Paris, 1911, no.225.
