Side table (commode en console) ca. 1755-60 Bernard II van Risenburgh This table with graceful, curvilinear lines has cabriole legs and is fitted with one drawer in its frieze. Its French name, commode en console, indicates that it is, in fact, a combination of a console table, designed to stand against a wall, and a commode, or chest of drawers.1 A small number of such tables are known today, and they appear to have been in vogue for a short period during the middle of the eighteenth century.2 Five were sold by the fashionable marchand-mercier Lazare Duvaux (ca. 1703-1758) between December of 1753 and February of 1757.3 They were veneered with tulipwood with the exception of one table, by far the most expensive of all, which was mounted with lacquer. In Duvaux's shop records it was described as a lacquer commode, with console legs, decorated with gilded bronze. It was sold for 1,150 livres on 13 May 1756.4Considered as part of the wall decoration, most console tables were made
