An elegant Nineteenth Century French mahogany and ormolu mounted tricoteuse by G. Durand; the lobed top veneered in beautifully figured mahogany with an ormolu mounted gallery and fall front, raised on end supports united by an oval shelf and standing on swept legs which terminate in the original acanthus cap castors. Stamped G. Durand.
The skill of Durand can be seen in the careful choice of mahogany veneers for the tricoteuse and the use of two different brass alloys to create different effects on the ormolu mounts. All of the ormolu is original.
Circa 1880.
