A Louis XIV mother-of-pearl inlaid black, gilt- and silver-japanned cabinet-on-stand
Paris, 1680
A cabinet with two doors with similar
decoration and from the same master is
in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Formerly the piece was considered to
be
Dutch, but new research has shown
that the present cabinet was produced
in Paris
by an unknown vernisseur.
