This table is in the manner of Nicolas Pineau (1684-1754). Along with Meissonier and de la Joue, he is regarded as one of the originators of the genre pittoresque or early French rococo. His Nouveaux desseins de Pieds de table, de Vases et de Consoles, de sculpture en bois illustrates carved tables with distinctive double scrolled legs headed by caryatid busts, which compare closely to the motifs employed on this table.
