Console Table Design
Elevation of four-legged console table with an inkwell, globe, and candle on top.
The table has fluted, tapered legs topped with hybrid capitals. The front of the table is carved with scrolls and lion heads holding portrait medallions (on the left and right) and a helmet with shields and quiver in the center. A trophy with helmets, flags, fasces, a laurel wreath, and a shield with a gorgon head is placed on a low pedestal under the table. The plan view of the table is indicated directly under the elevation. Below the plan is a scale bar of three French feet ("Echelle de 3 Pieds"). The plate is signed and numbered.
