Catalogue Note
Roger Vandercruse dit Lacroix, ébéniste reçu maître en 1755.
Le décor en treillage de ces tables s'apparente en marqueterie au décor en vernis Martin que l'on peut trouver sur deux tables de Lacroix possédant un plateau en porcelaine de Sèvres, l'une conservée au musée du Louvre, l'autre au musée Nissim de Camondo. Le décor en vernis Martin s'harmonisait avec celui, inaltérable, de la porcelaine. C'est probablement dans ce type de table qu'il faut chercher l'inspiration du décor. Le plateau en marqueterie, à motif de fleurs et oiseaux est typique de la production raffinée de R.V.L.C.
