This table, with its serpentined and acanthus-wrapped leg enrichments is centred by a Flora-mask within a fretted cartouche with Venus-shell badge, while feathered Indian masks emerge above the serpentined legs with their voluted feet. The acanthus-wrapped frame, with its Flora-masked cartouche accompanied by Indian-feathered nymph-heads on serpentined and voluted truss feet, evolves from a pattern published by Pierre Le Pautre in his Livre de tables qui sont dans les apartements du roy, 1712, pl. 2; with its scalloped and fretted ornament it relates, however, more closely to the designs of Nicolas Pineau, published in J.J. Mariette's Nouveaux Desseins de Pieds de tables et de Vases, 1734. A related table design by Thomas l'Ainé features in his Livre de divers desseins d'ornements, Aix-en-Provence, 1740, pl. 8
