Jean-Franois Oeben, maître in 1763.

The inventory taken after the death of Jean-Franois Oeben in 1763 describes the following commode which corresponds very closely to this commode:
'Une commode de 27 pouces de long sur 30 pouces de haut, 16 pouces de profondeur, plaquée de bois de rose à compartiments de bois d'amaranthe et filets noirs et blancs, ornée de cinq petits anneaux à rosettes, une petite suspente quatre pieds et deux chutes de bronze sans dorure, avec son dessus de marbre de brèche d'Alep, prisée 150 liv.'.
