Empire Style Table de Milieu.

A Very Fine Empire Style Gilt-Bronze Mounted Mahogany Table de Milieu, with a Verde Antico Marble Top, in the Manner of Jacob Desmalter.  

The rectangular marble top above a frieze applied with laurel leaves on gilt-bronze female caryatid supports and rectangular supports applied with anthemion decoration, on an 'H'-shaped plinth centred by a lidded vase flanked by sphinxes.
 
The design for this important table is derived from the 'console double face' supplied in 1808 by by François-Honoré- Georges Jacob dit Jacob-Desmalter (d. 1841), for the bedroom of Caroline Murat, Napoléon's youngest sister, at the Palais de l'Elysée, Paris. The original design relies heavily on the work of the important architects and designers Percier et Fontaine. Jacobs table is now displayed in the Grand Trianon, Versailles (see D. Ledoux-Lebard, Le Grand Trianon, Meubles et objets d'art, (Paris), 1975; vol. I, p. 25).

French, Circa 1890.

Literature
Ledoux-Lebard, Denise, Les Ebenistes du XIXeme siecle, page 271.
