Description
A circular side table in thuja burl veneer with chiselled and gilded bronze. The circular glass-topped tabletop features, at its centre, a round porcelain medallion repeating the design of Madame Du Barry’s small ‘Amours’ service, set within a circle of twelve neoclassical medallions in Wedgwood porcelain. It rests on a tripod base with double uprights in the form of small columns imitating bamboo, rising above a triangular crossbar with concave sides, topped by a round shelf with an openwork gallery and a baluster base. The whole rests on arched feet decorated with scrapers. Louis XVI style, based on a commission probably placed by the haberdasher Dominique Daguerre with Adam Weisweiler (1744–1820). H. 76 cm – W. 42 cm (minor wear) Note: Although Weisweiler and Daguerre produced several versions of this model incorporating Wedgwood porcelain medallions, which were very much in vogue in 18th-century France, exemplars adorned with the signs of the zodiac are particularly rare. Known examples include one held at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg; another sold at Christie’s in London on 1 July 1976 (lot 64); and a third from the collection of Lady Magnus-Allcroft (acquired before 1914) and sold at Christie’s in London on 10 June 1993, lot 26.
