EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Late Louis XVI ormolu and cameo-mounted burr yew wood and mahogany table travailleuse. Measuring 81x66x38.5 cm, this remarkable piece is part of a private collection. Believed to have been commissioned by Dominique Daguerre, the table features an upper tier with a hinged fall-front. Each tier is elegantly banded with ebony and citronnier, while the interior is lined with ebony for added opulence. The true beauty lies in the wax cameos inset into each tier, depicting putti and Classical scenes within gold surrounds beneath domed glass. The intricate details continue with baluster and spirally-reeded supports that are separated by bas-relief panels, adding depth and dimension to the design. Toupie feet and castors provide both stability and mobility to this stunning piece of furniture. Stamped A. WEISWEILER, this table bears the mark of its talented creator Adam Weisweiler (c. 1744-c. 1820), a renowned French craftsman known for his exceptional work during the late 18th century. Capturing every ornate detail in perfect clarity, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the historical significance of this magnificent table travailleuse from the era of Louis XVI.
