The ebony and malachite-enriched cabinet, surmounted by nymphs emblematic of Peace and Plenty and conceived in the French/Renaissance manner of the second Empire, was designed by the sculptor and artiste industriel Paul Mazaroz (d. 1900), of the the rue des Filles-du-Calvaire and executed at his workshops in the rue Ternaux-Popincourt, to which he succeeded from Pierre Ribailler (d. 1868) his partner and father-in-law. He helped organise the 1865 Exhibition at the Union centrale des Arts decoratifs and was a silver medallist at the Exposition universelle, 1878.
