Jean-Baptiste Meunier, maître in 1739.

The distinctive inventory number R558 is that of the French Rothschilds (see also lot 19). Although Baron Eugène was from the Viennese branch, his mother Bettina was a French Rothschild, the daughter of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild (d.1905). Related inventory numbers are recorded in both black and red paint, the R appearing both before and after the three digit numbers. Examples include the celebrated commode made for the Dauphine at Choisy (the Riahi Collection, sold Christie's New York, 2 November 2000, lot 20) as well as on the Riesener suite of lacquer furniture sold from the collection of Akram Ojjeh, Christie's Monaco, 11-12 December 1999, lot 35.
