A tuya burr, amaranth, ebony, light wood and ebony game table, decorated with frames and reserves, the removable and reversible top covered with leather and felt (the felt replaced), resting on cutaway uprights and octagonal legs terminating in castor shoes; several numbers and ink marks on the reverse including the GDT mark for the Grand-Trianon of Versailles; with fifteen ivory tokens, fifteen stained ivory tokens and two leather cones; (restorations). Stamped by Adam Weisweiler, cabinetmaker received master in 1778 and JME. Louis XVI period around 1780-1790. H : 73 cm, W : 82 cm, D : 47 cm Provenance : Grand-Trianon in Versailles in the 19th century. Former Collection Stéphane Boudin (1888-1967), decorator and director of the Jansen house in Paris. From the 1930s onwards, Stéphane Boudin presided over the destiny of the famous Jansen house founded in 1880. His work for Elsie de Wolfe earned him the nickname of "decorator's decorator". His clients also included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Lady Baillie, the royal families of Belgium, Iran and Serbia, as well as the Kennedys in the White House. Adam Weisweiler made extensive use of burl wood from the early 1780's. It was generally used with the most precious materials such as Sèvres or Wedgwood porcelain plates. Let us recall that the famous Louis XV period commode known as "Mademoiselle de Sens" covered with porcelain plates was already made of burr wood. Unfortunately, the marks on the back of the piece of furniture do not allow us to trace its history with precision. It is however interesting to mention the writing table stamped by Weisweiler delivered by Jean-Henri Riesener in 1782 to the Grand Trianon for the dauphin. This table, simpler than the one presented here, is almost identical in size, with the corners of the tabletop cut in the same way and the legs less refined but also topped with gilt bronze capitals. The combination of the Grand-Trianon provenance and the Weisweiler stamp suggests the possible intermediation of Jean-Henri Riesener, supplier of the Garde-meuble royal; however, it should be noted that unlike the table mentioned above, no entry number in the journal of the Garde-meuble has been found.
