The distinctive, illusionistic cube-parquetry of this table à écrire was almost certainly developed by Jean-François Oeben circa 1760, but was soon employed by various other ébénistes working in the Transition period such as Oeben's brother-in-law, Roger Vandercruse dit Lacroix. From the beginning of his career, Lacroix specialised in the production of small, costly items of furniture, often embellished with intricate marquetry.
