This guéridon table resumes the standard of the three gilt bronze supports already adopted under the French Consulat by Adam Weisweiler and Pierre-Philippe Thomire (see in particular the tea table delivered by Martin-Eloi Lignereux in 1802 and placed in the Emperor's Salon at Saint-Cloud in 1805, Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and the guéridon with Zephyr busts, Musée Marmottan, Paris). A guéridon table very close to the model presented, but with fewer gilt bronzes, is today housed at the Museo Correr in Venice and correlates most certainly to a delivery for the new royal palace built on Saint Mark's Square for Napoleon I. We find the same bronze water horses (see the mechanical desk delivered in 1808 for the Emperor's library at Compiègne, still displayed in situ) and the same thyrsus (pair of commodes delivered to the Empress's chamber at Compiègne in 1810), decorative elements typical of Jacob's production.
