The tripartite structure of this gueridon and recurrent use of thuya or similarly-figured timbers is clearly inspired by the oeuvre of the ébéniste Adam Weisweiler (maître in 1778), who executed several related gueridons for the celebrated Parisian marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre. Such prototypes relate to these illustrated in P. Lemonnier, Weisweiler, Paris, 1983, p. 90, and in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIII Siècle, 1998, p. 868, fig. A.
