Along with the other related table à chiffoniere by RVLC in this sale (lot 40), the present table is part of a related group by Roger van der Cruse, dit Lacroix, with trellis-patterned cornflower marquetry-inlaid oval or circular tops and undertiers centered by a swirling-acanthus reserve, double-scrolled cabriole legs and similar ormolu mounts. In addition to the group listed in the catalogue note for lot 40 (see above), a nearly identical unstamped circular table that was on the London market in 1957 is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 752, fig. B.
