The delicate scrolling rinceaux carved in relief on the frieze of these fine gueridons is a motif typically used by the renowned Piemontese furniture designer Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo. It appears on several commodes, particularly on one executed for the Duchessa d'Aosta at the Palazzo Reale in Torino (illustrated in G. Ferraris, Giuseppe Maria Bonzanigo, Turin, 1991, p. 110, fig. LXXXIIa-b).
