The depth and arrangement of the flowers on the present lot resemble raised hardstone works often associated with the Imperial Peterhof Lapidary Workshop rather than the prolific Florentine stone-cutting studios of the 19th century. The present cabinet, presumed to be one of a pair, relates closely to a pair of hardstone-mounted cabinets illustrated in Edward Petrovich Gau's mid-19th century watercolor of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna's Grand Drawing Room at the Winter Palace.
