The form of this richly carved cabinet, with a smaller upper section set back from the front and sides of the lower one, is characteristic of French furniture of the late 16th Century. As stated by D. Dubon in The Frick Collection. An illustrated catalogue. Furniture, Vol. V, New York, 1992, pp.117-123, such cabinets were described in an inventory drawn up as early as 1596.
