The Louis XVI fashion for porcelain-mounted furniture was revived during the reign of Louis XVIII and Charles X by ébénistes such as Alexander-Louis Bellangé (d. 1863). A Napoleon III porcelain-mounted table is illustrated in C. Payne, 19th Century European Furniture, Woodbridge, 1984, p. 256.
A table with a similar top was sold in these Rooms 28th October, 1993, lot 253.
