Design for an asymmetrical console table in Rococo Style and two halves of other rocaille ornaments, possibly meant as variants to the table’s base. The table’s supporting structure is decorated with rocaille ornaments and vegetal branches. On the left side, right below the entablature, a little dragon is incorporated. Its pendant on the right side is the bust of a woman. Below, in the center of the base a large bird is placed, resting on a rocaille ornament covered by a patch of flowers and thin leafy bushes.
