Although the design is a combination of more than one piece by André-Charles Boulle (1642-1732) the overall shape and much of the inlay and mounts are taken from a combined armoire and long-case clock that was specifically mentioned in Boulle's dead of gift to his sons in 1715 and which is now in the Wallace Collection, London (F429, see: A.Pradère, French Furniture Makers, Paris, 1989, p.66).
