Charles X, also known as the comte d'Artois (Count of Artois), took the throne after the fall of Napoleon. Brother of Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, he was the last of the French rulers from the senior branch of the House of Bourbon. During his reign, French furniture transitioned from overly ornate, bold and geometric to more comfortable and simple, while still maintaining sophistication, as evidenced by this console table. He was succeeded by Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans.
