content: Elevation of two-legged console table set with vases, mirror, and bowl of flowers. The table has an edge ornamented with bead course, acanthus scroll, and lamb's tongue design; at the center is a lunette with acanthus leaves, and the lower edge is traced by a garland of draping flowers. The tables legs split at the top into scrolling brackets; leaves climb the shaft of the legs. At the center at the bottom of the table is a lidded vase with pinecone finial. The plan view of the table is indicated directly under the elevation. Below the plan is a scale bar of three French feet ("Echelle de 3 Pieds"). The plate is signed and numbered.
