These colourful porcelain-enriched cabinets for the display of porcelain and decorative objects, are designed in the Louis XVI style popularised by fashion-setting Parisian merchants such as Dominique Daguerre (d.1796). A secretaire, of related form with Sevres flower-vase tablets of the 1770s, was acquired in the 1870s by Richard, 4th Marquess of Hertford and may have inspired the inspiration for these cabinets. (see A. Sassoon and G. Wilson, Decorative Arts of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu, 1986 no.48).
