The waistband opens to a drawer, decorated on the front with reserve framing fillets.

One stamped (Minor accidents and wear.) Pair of consoles by Georges-Alphonse Jacob-Desmalter, one stamped, circa 1830/40 HEIGHT 92.50 - WIDTH 111 - PROF. 44.50 CM - H. 36.4 - W. 43,7 - D. 17,5 IN. François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (he added Desmalter to his name in 1803 in memory of the family property in Chény called "Les Malterres"), son of Georges Jacob, followed in his father's footsteps alongside his brother Georges. They joined forces in 1796 and set up shop at 77, rue Meslée in Paris. Among the brothers' first commissions was the decoration and furnishing of Napoleon and his wife Joséphine's mansion on rue Chantereine. The surviving furniture illustrates the patriotic and symbolic tastes that were so characteristic of the Directoire period, heralding the Empire style. The firm's next major commission was for the Récamiers, important and influential French bankers. Around the same time, at the turn of the century, the firm was commissioned by Percier et Fontaine to decorate and furnish La Malmaison, Josephine's country residence, whose furniture in the "taste of Egypt" style survives to this day. The company then supplied furniture for Bonaparte's apartments in the Tuileries, and took part in the second and third public exhibitions of "Products of French Industry" held in the courtyard of the Louvre in 1801 and 1802. Jacob-Desmalter was awarded a gold medal at the 1802 exhibition.
