Jacob Frères, Guéridon said in Antique from the Consulate-Empire period.

Superb large pedestal table in mahogany and mahogany veneer, with a flared patinated central shaft resting on a tripod base ending in leonine claw feet, with their original casters.
The top, made of a very beautiful removable marble with a Sainte Anne gray bowl.
An identical pedestal table, delivered by Jacob for the Emperor's bedroom, on the first floor, Palais de Fontainebleau (J.P. Samoyault, Furniture entered under the First Empire at Fontainebleau, page 269).

This type of pedestal table, called "antique style", was considered the favorite of Emperor Napoleon I. Throughout his reign, he asked the Garde Meuble to provide him with some for all his residences. He also signed his abdiction, in 1814, on a pedestal table of a similar shape.
Jacob Frères (then Jacob Desmalter) and Pierre Benoît Marcion were the cabinetmakers commissioned by Garde Meuble to supply this type of pedestal table.

Very good state of conservation.

Jacob Brothers (1796-1803)
-- According to "The cabinetmakers of the 18th century by François de Salverte"
After the death of their father, Georges Jacob, his sons Georges and François-Honoré continued the activity together under the company name “Jacob brothers”.

Both were born in Paris, the first on May 26, 1768, the other on February 6, 1770.
In the company that they managed together until towards the end of the Consulate, the eldest took care of the commercial administration and the second of the technical part.

The second son was called Jacob-Desmalter, from the name of a property his father owned in Burgundy. A lover of his profession, very intelligent, very gifted in the arts, he would acquire a reputation among the men of his generation comparable to that of Boulle in the seventeenth century and Riesener in the eighteenth. Luck served him from the start. General Bonaparte, returning from Italy, ordered from the Jacob brothers, for his bedroom on rue Chantereine, a curious piece of military furniture, the bed of which simulated a tent and the drum seats. These historical pieces, given to General Lefèvre-Desnouettes, passed by inheritance to the Count of Harambure, who kept them in his castle of Boran (Oise).
Later the First Consul called on the same cabinetmakers to refurnish the former royal residences devastated by the Revolution. After having until then produced works of very sober taste, which stood out above all for the character and purity of the style, the Jacobs began to manufacture pieces more richly decorated with sculptures and bronzes. Sometimes they also enhanced them with colored wood inlays and porcelain bas-reliefs imitating Wedgwood biscuits. A gold medal was awarded to them at the Exhibition of the year IX, where they notably presented two chests of drawers decorated with cameos. They surpassed themselves in the competition the following year.
Their shipment included, among other pieces, several tripods made of incense burners and a sumptuous carved and gilded wood console, covered with an Italian mosaic.
These industrialists used the brand JACOB FRERES RUE MESLEE which they printed on two lines, in tall, thin letters.
We also find this mark on many cabinetworks that are part of the State collections, such as the desk built for the First Consul in the shape of a triumphal arch; it appears among Joséphine's memories at the Château de la Malmaison.
The eldest of the Jacob brothers died prematurely on 30 Vendémiaire year XII (October 23, 1803) and François-Honoré formed a new association with his father, under the name “Jacob Desmalter et Cie”, with the stamp Jacob D Rue Meslée.
