An unusual, small coffee table with painted coats of arms and inscriptions. The two shields depicted seem to represent heraldic symbols and the inscription reads:
“SI QUELQU’UN EST IMMORTEL C’EST MOI” (French for “If someone is immortal, it’s me“). The dates “1750 – 1849” likely refer to the birth and death of a notable figure or significant event. Additionally, there is a Latin phrase: “VALOR VIRTUS ET FIDES,” which translates to “Courage, Virtue, and Faith.”
The overall design suggests this could be related to a historical person or a commemorative piece for a prominent family.
