專家說明

The design for the present occasional table relates to the guéridon doubles colonnettes, an innovation of the celebrated Parisian ébéniste, Adam Weisweiler (maître 1778). With the common feature being its twin 'bamboo' supports, Weisweiler produced several variations of the table, some having a porcelain or Wedgwood inset top, others inset with marble, lapis lazuli or even lacquer. Examples are known to have been supplied to Madame du Barry and the Comte Skavronsky. A pair of guéridon of this model by Henry Dasson, with porcelain tops instead of marble, sold Christie’s, New York, 24 April 2003, lot 318 ($15,535).
