Catalogue Note
This center table is based on the celebrated model, now in the Louvre (Mobilier National, 1901, OA 5049), dating to around 1714. It was designed by Jules Degoullons and partners of the Artisans de la Société pour les Bâtiments du Roi for the refurnishing of Charles-Henri II de Malon de Bercy's Château de Bercy.
