Jacques Dubois, maître in 1742

A closely related bureau plat by Dubois, with virtually identical mounts, is illustrated in G. Janneau, Les Petits Meubles, Paris, 1977, fig. XXI. Another similar bureau plat by Dubois is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 273.
