Lot Essay
This particular model of guridon and its flowerhead-filled trellis parquetry frieze is very often attributed to Jean-Pierre Dusautoy (matre in 1779). This elegant model derives from the work of RVLC (Roger Vandercruse, called 'Lacroix'). The untertier of these occasional tables often depicted conforming parquetry, which was occasionally centred by a floral bouquet.
