The ormolu frieze prominently displayed on the present lot was quite possibly the base for a large surtout de table or elaborate center-piece commissioned for the eldest son of King Louis-Philippe, the duc d'Orléns. Bearing the duc's monogram and cst with music-making putti and mythological beasts, the frieze resembles the ornate plinth of Claude-Aimae Chenavard and Antoine-Louis Barye's legendary surtout commissioned by the duc for the Tuileries in 1834.
