This pair of side tables closely relate to a design by the architect Leopoldo Pollack (1752-1806) of 1789, now in the collection A. Bertarelli, Milan (C. Alberici, Il Mobile Lombardo, Milan, 1969, p. 204). The drawing of this Vienna-born designer shows a similarly supported side table with the characteristic scrolling side supports to the top. Pollack came to Milan at the age of 25 to collaborate on the Palazzo Ducale. His most well-known work is the Villa Belgioioso, Milan (today the Galleria d'Arte Moderna).
