This tripartite cabinet, with drawer-framed tabernacle compartment and paired columnar stand, is marquetried with a colourful mosaic of flowered roman foliage in the fashion introduced at the Manufacture Royale des Gobelins and associated with Louis XIV's chief cabinet-maker Pierre Gole (d. 1684). A related cabinet, with chequer-bordered drawers framing arch-ended and ivory-framed tablets, was sold anonymously at Hotel Drouot, Paris, 14 June 1996, lot 70.
