Germain Landrin, maître in 1738

Several coiffeuses of this unusual design and with extremely similar marquetry are signed by Landrin. Of these, one is illustrated in F. de Salverte, Les Ebénistes du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1953, p. XL, while another was sold by the Executors of the late Mrs. M.A. Stephens at Sotheby's London, 24 November 1978, lot 162.

A closely related coiffeuse is in the Musée Nissim de Cammondo, Paris (Musée Nissim de Cammondo, Catalogue, no. 755)
