This console table is stylistically similar to the works of Claude-Charles Saunier in several aspects, notably in its use of gilt bronze. Almost the same bronze mounts are found on a console table stamped by Saunier, sold by Christie’s London on December 1, 2005, lot 234, as well as on a console table from the Djahanguir Riahi collection, sold by Sotheby’s Paris on 6 July 2017, lot 134 and illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le mobilier français du XVIIIe siècle, p. 780, as well as on the console table in Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (BK- 16670).
