Dogs and cats kennels were rare pieces of furniture during the 18th century.

Comparable examples:
– Notre Dame de Cheverny abbey, attributed to Georges Jacob.
– Vendeuvre Museum and Castle collection (Normandy).

Oval in shape, it features two moulded and fluted bands. The upper band is supported by four slightly curved, consoleshaped
pillars, which are also moulded and fluted, with scrolls at the top and double clips at the bottom.
Above each pillar is a block featuring a rosette set within a rectangular compartment.
