Germain, Karl (Charles Mattmuller). Germain’s Gimmicked Gold Side Tables. Circa 1900. Pair of two carved stands outfitted with spring-loaded traps (in one top, two ball traps; in the other, a rabbit trap), a servante, and one metal elevator trap. With gold leaf-type finish and matching drapes. Height 32 ½”. Considerable wear to felt tops. Vintage photographs show the tables on stage with Germain, who used them for years.
