This cabinet perpetuates an established tradition of finely-mounted porcelain furnishings which gained popularity during the third quarter of the 19th century. Porcelain makers from the Dresden area demonstrated their skill with porcelain-mounted cabinets, continuing the tradition of the Meissen porcelain manufactory which began in the early 18th century (see lot 186). A very similar cabinet was sold Sotheby's, Paris, 16 May 2002, lot 287 (57,500 Euros).
