EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Late Louis XVI ormolu and cameo-mounted burr yew wood and mahogany table travailleuse. Crafted by the renowned artist Adam Weisweiler, this exquisite piece measures 81x66x38.5 cm and is currently held in 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 adorned with ebony and citronnier bands along the upper edge, while the interior is lined with luxurious ebony. The tiers are inset with wax cameos depicting putti and Classical scenes within gold surrounds, all protected beneath domed glass. The table stands on baluster and spirally-reeded supports that are elegantly separated by bas-relief panels. Its toupie feet ensure stability while adding a touch of sophistication to its design. A stamp bearing A. WEISWEILER's name further confirms its authenticity. Capturing every intricate detail of this ornate masterpiece, eChristies Images presents us with a glimpse into French craftsmanship at its finest during the late 18th century. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of this unique furniture piece but also pays homage to its historical significance as it represents an era known for opulence and artistic excellence.
