A very similar console table is in the Royal Palace of Turin (inv. nr. R 2406). Otherwise, it is worth making a comparison with a console table in the Accorsi–Ometto Museum (inv. M1006, ill. Roberto Antonetto, Il Mobile Piemontese nel Settecento, Vol II, 2010, p.217, fig.23), and a console table in a private collection by the workshop of the woodcarver Michele Croce, active in the second half of the 18th century (ill. Antonetto, op. cit., p.221, fig.27).
