A CLOSELY RELATED CIRCULAR SCAGLIOLA TOP INSET INTO A SMALL GUERIDON, ATTRIBUTED TO VIENNA, IS IN THE RESIDENZ, MUNICH (ILLUSTRATED IN G. HOJER AND H. OTTOMEYER, DIE MöBEL DER RESIDENZ MüNCHEN, MUNICH, 1997, VOL. III, PP. 255-7, CAT. 130). THE TASTE FOR THE FASHIONABLE POMPEIAN OR ETRUSCAN STYLE SPREAD THROUGHOUT EUROPE OF COURSE, AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THE SCAGLIOLA TOP ON THE RESIDENZ TABLE WAS IMPORTED FROM ITALY. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE WITH THIS RESPECT AN EMPIRE TABLE BY BIENNAIS WITH A SCAGLIOLA TOP OF SIMILAR INSPIRATION, SOLD CHRISTIE'S, MONACO, 17 JUNE 1990, LOT 360.
