Flying tables....

The Carnets de Versailles for 22nd October publishes an article by Stéphane Castelluccio on mechanical chairs and tables, particularly the abortive project for a "flying table" at the Petit Trianon.

Cool subject!  Stéphane Castelluccio is also author of a book, Chaises et tables volantes au XVIIIe siècle, coédition château de Versailles  ed. Honoré Clair, 2023.
