The table of lyre end support design, rising from ormolu claw feet, conjoined with a rectangular shaped platform stretcher; three lockable mahogany lined drawers are fitted in the apron; the dished rectangular marble platform having an ormolu trimmed octagonal adjustable swing mirror, supported by shaped columns, rising from triangulated bases, each column dressed with double candleholders. F-H-G Jacob Desmalter (1770-1841) was the second son of the venerated cabinet maker, Georges Jacob, who had supplied the French, Russian & English Royal families; he married the daughter of the celebrated bronzier Martin-Eloi Lignereux; the attendance of Messrs. Thomiere, Percier and Fontaine at their wedding in 1798 attests to the esteem with which they were held; taking the helm of the firmly established Jacob company in 1796, Jacob-Desmalter worked from enlarged premises at Rue Mesle´e, with a large work force, supplying the Napoleonic court, furnishing the chateaux at Compiegne, Malmaison and the Tuileries Palace inter alia; the company made the throne upon which Napoleon was invested as Emperor; in turn the business was passed to his son, Alphonse, who died in 1870.
