Our console is influenced by the work of PIerre Contant d'Ivry, who asserted his taste for a return to classicism. This influence can be seen in the base, which can be compared to a console in the manner of Contant d'Ivry, presented in Bill Pallot's book "L'art du siège au XVIIIème siècle en France", p. 152.
Architect to the king, Pierre Contant d'Ivry (1698-1777) was admitted to the Académie in 1751 and published his "Oeuvres d'architecture" in 1769. In this work, he asserts a pronounced taste for 17th-century classicism, sometimes interspersed with large rocaille shells.
