Martin Ohneberg, maître in 1773, is recorded to have worked predominantly with marchands-merciers and tapissiers such as the frères Presle, working exclusively in the Transition and Louis XVI fashions, as illustrated by a Transition commode inlaid with foliage and musical instruments, in the Musée du Louvre (P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIè Siècle).

A related demi-lune commode by Ohneberg is illustrated in P. Kjellberg, ibid, p.627, while a further related example executed by fellow ébéniste Jean Caumont (maître in 1774), featuring the same distinctive laurel adorned 'lobed' mounts to the angles, was sold, Mercier, Velliet, Thullier & Issaly, Lille, 24 April 1988, p.70.
