The marquetry decoration of this cabinet, with various stars on an oyster-veneered olivewood ground, is enriched with oval medallions with exuberant flower-vases resting on the edge of a table. Several flowers in the vases are very similar, and some identical, to those found on cabinets by the celebrated cabinet-maker Jan van Mekeren (1658-1733). At present, his documented oeuvre consists mainly of cabinets - eight in total - five of which with nearly identical decoration to the doors, with a tall flower-vase resting on the edge of a table. Other cabinets have been linked to the group through other decorative and constructional similarities, but mainly by means of comparison of the flowers, but also the birds and insects, which appear in and around the bouquets and in the ornamental friezes.
Interestingly, the oval medallions with flower-vases on the doors of this cabinet appear on the sides of Van Mekeren's most richly-decorated cabinets, such as those at Amerongen Castle and in the Rijksmuseum.
