Description

Small circular table in wood and mahogany veneer, opening at the waist with a drawer forming a writing desk. It is supported by three dark copper fluted columns, joined by a concave triangular crotch shelf, adorned with a small tray on a baluster. The whole rests on small saber feet. It is embellished with exquisite ornamentation in finely chased and gilded bronze, including openwork galleries, frames, fretwork plates, rings, fluting and sabots. Paris. Late 18th century. Directoire period. Attributed to Adam Weisweiler. H_72 cm D_55 cm Restorations. Provenance : Former Dimitri Agelasto Collection, Brussels This model, almost certainly created by Dominique Daguerre, was produced by Weisweiler in several copies in a circular format, the first of which, around 1785, for Count Pavel Martynovich Skavronsky, then Russian Ambassador to Naples, followed by a second which was delivered to Madame du Barry for her apartments at the Château de Versailles. The success of this piece led Weisweiler to continue producing it until the end of the century, in the form of pedestal tables and tables. Around 1790, a belt, sometimes with a writing-table drawer and simpler solid mahogany columns adorned with copper fluting, similar to the one shown here, appeared. Trays, which were generally adorned with Wedgwood plates, could also be decorated with porcelain or Sèvres cookie plates, or simply veneered, or even topped with a marble or lacquer top, like the one in the former Fabre Collection.
