Tables
Left row: a plan of a round table, designs for two console tables.
The upper one supported by two wingless chimerae, connected above by a festoon and standing in profile upon a base. The lower one is supported by two obliquely outward turned columns upon a base, iupon which stands inside an acanthus plant, probably containing a bowl. Center row: above a sketch of a console table partly overdrawn by the project of the left side of a console table, like the one upper left. Below: a console table supported upon a base by three pillars with lion's feet. They are fluted and foliated, the lateral ones higher than the central one. They have masks and a drapery festoon below the Ionic capitals which are connected by festoons. They are connected above the feet by moldings and above by a small moulding. The top is like cornices of an entablature with entwinced waved bands. Right row: above one leg and the left side of the top of a table. Below: a table leg consisting of a bird's foot, a calyx, a twiosted column and an eagle's head. Usual background.
