Table de salon

ca. 1780–85
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 553
Cette table est le premier meuble de la collection du Musée venu de Russie. Elle faisait partie d’un petit mobilier décoré d’incrustations d’argent, d’une ornementation gravée et de nombreuses appliques dorées. Seul exemplaire connu hors de Russie, il est aussi le plus abouti. Ces objets d’exception étaient souvent offerts comme présents diplomatiques ou en dot. Des études récentes montrent que cette table d’apparat (purement décorative) avait été exécutée pour la famille impériale de Russie. Elle figure à l’inventaire du mobilier de la chambre à coucher de l’impératrice Maria Feodorovna au palais de Pavlovsk. En 1801, l’impératrice l’offrit à Pierre, duc d’Oldenbourg, veuf de sa sœur.
