Comparative Literature:
Collection Ottmar Strauss, May 1935, Vol. II, fig. 1076.
Collections Bruno Perrier, Deuxième vente, Haute Epoque Moyen-Age-Renaissance-VIIe, 7th December 1993, p. 42, no. 31, for a related table described as Alsace, 16th century without the stretchers but on X-form supports.

A very similar example but lacking the stretcher was formerly in the Ottmar Strauss collection.  Also see a further example illustrated by Perrier, op. cit., p. 42, no. 31, from an Alsace atelier influenced by the German models.
