Note: Exhibited San Diego Museum of Art, Balboa Park, 1987 Anthony Gabriel Quervelle (1789-1856) was born in France and emigrated from Paris by 1817, the year he married Louise Genevieve Monot in Philadelphia.

A nearly identical table labeled by Quervelle is illustrated in Robert Smith, "Philadelphia Empire Furniture by Antoine Gabriel Quervelle", The Magazine Antiques , Sept. 1964, Fig. 9 p. 308; the figured segmented fans that adorn the tops of these tables are signature elements of Quervelle's best furniture. These tables are variously marked "II" and "IV", suggesting they were perhaps part of a suite of four tables when made.
