Work of Adam Weisweiler, to whom we owe many pedestal tables. The interlacing of the struts, the choice of fluorspar for the top, the line of the supports make this a very refined model, worthy of the greatest cabinetmakers of the period.
He supplied works to the merchant Dominique Daguerre, one of the main artisans of taste of the time. This collaboration could explain the discretion of the stamp hidden under the top, the merchant being often reluctant to divulge the name of his manufacturer, especially since the pedestal tables of this form are rare in the work of Weisweiler

Adam Weisweiler was born in Korschenbroich in 1746 (Germany). He worked for the merchant merchant Dominique Daguerre (en) and for the house of Lignereux. He became the supplier of the French Court, of Marie-Caroline of Austria, queen consort of Naples, of Maria Feodorovna, daughter-in-law of Catherine II, as well as of the French and English high aristocracy. He also worked under the Empire. He died in Paris in 1820.
Weisweiler's production is particularly abundant. His style perfectly illustrates the "Pompeian" style. He likes the porcelain plates (Sèvres and Wedgwood) that the merchant Daguerre provides him. He executed little marquetry, except for a few rare pieces of furniture in the taste of Boulle, to meet orders.
