Specialist note

The gilt and patinated bronze uprights of these console tables are inspired by the work of the great bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire (1751-1843). He created several similar models and an ormolu and patinated bronze-mounted mahogany console table with almost identical figures attributed to him is in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (Inv. n. EPR-20).
