Notes

La table d'une grande sobriété tant par sa forme que par son décor découvre en sa ceinture une tablette munie d'un pupitre garni de cuir et deux tiroirs latéraux. Le plateau rectangulaire à angles arrondis est doté d'un marbre brèche d'Alep enchâssé dans un bandeau en acajou. La table repose sur un fin piètement cambré terminé par des sabots feuillagés.
Adoptant les schémas assagis du style Louis XV, notamment dans la découpe de la ceinture et le piètement, ce meuble répond aux nouveaux goûts pour la ligne droite et sobre qui préfigure le néoclassicisme.
Ne portant pas d'estampille, cette table à écrire peut être rapprochée
des réalisations de l'un des plus grands représentants de cette période en matière d'ébénisterie, Jean-François Oeben (1721-1763).
Sa production de petites tables à mécanisme tint en effet une part
prépondérante dans son Œuvre avec une variété infinie de modèles
et nombreuses sont celles qui ne furent pas estampillées.

La sobriété de l'emploi uniquement de l'acajou en placage que l'on constate sur notre table se retrouve sur une table dite « à deux fins »
estampillée Oeben aux proportions et à la ligne très proches de notre modèle, tout comme sur celle qui fut conservée dans la collection de Madame Simone Berriau .
Proportions harmonieuses, ligne fluide et légère, ornementation épurée caractérisent une partie de la production de cet ébéniste destinée à une clientèle privée parallèlement à l'importante création de meubles à marqueterie fouillée destinée quant à elle aux fastes de la Cour.
