This table de salon by Henry Dasson (d.1896) is related to a table made by Jean-Henri Riesener (d.1806), and delivered in 1783 for the cabinet intérieur of Madame Elisabeth at Versailles, sister to Louis XVI, now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1939-41-9). Another table by Riesener, of similar proportions but with octagonal legs, in the Palais des Tuilleries and the Palais de Compiègne during the 19th century, is in the Louvre (OA 5162). Of note is a portrait of Riesener posing next to a table of similar form painted by Nicolas-Jacques-Antoine Vestier (d.1816).
A virtually identical table, possibly the same table, was sold Hôtel Drouot, Beaussant Lefèvre, 28 June 2000, lot 209 (65,000 francs). This table was formerly in the Camondo collection. Another closely related table à ecrire stamped 'Beurdeley Paris' sold Sotheby's New York, 19 April 2007, lot 153 ($27,000). This Riesener model was undoubtedly a popular design for the same sale included another very similar table stamped 'F. Durand.Fils', lot 152.
