Empire Time Table Stamped Jacob. Dr Meslee

Mahogany and flamed mahogany veneer, white marble, surmounted by an octagonal psyche and framed by six candlesticks, belt adorned with engraved and gilded bronze depicting a laurel wreath and two lyres opening with two drawers deploying compartments, by an ingenious system of push button can be rotated drawers outward allowing better access to the back of the drawers. Anterior volute console uprights terminated by clawed feet and decorated with lotus leaves, hind feet in sheath bound by a spacer.
The stamp of JACOB. DR MESLEE was used by Georges Jacob (1735-1814) and his son François-Honoré-Georges Jacob-Desmalter (1770-1841) from 1803 to 1813.
A very similar toilet table is found at the castle of Compiegne, "appartement double de Prince, grand chambre",(see foto n°4) bearing the same stamp.
