The serpentine frame is designed in the Louis XV picturesque manner and with its legs surmounted by Venus's scallop-shell badge and terminating in acanthus-wrapped volutes, it relates to table patterns invented by Nicolas Pineau (d. 1754) and published by J.J. Mariette in Nouveaux Dessins de Pieds de Tables et de Vases et Consoles de sculpture en bois, 1734.
