This anonymous 18th-century engraving depicts two elaborate designs for wall tables, showcasing the Rococo style’s penchant for asymmetrical, swirling forms. Each design features a central cartouche surrounded by stylized foliage, scrolls, and cherubs, creating a sense of movement and delicate elegance. The upper design uses two lions as supports for the tabletop, while the lower design features cherubs perched atop a sculpted base. These detailed drawings were likely intended to be used by artisans for the creation of actual furniture pieces, reflecting the popularity of Rococo design during the 18th century.
