The decoration of this commode is close to that on an encoignure, a commode and a table à écrire in blue and white vernis Martin made by Mathieu Criaerd (died 1776) and delivered on 29 January 1743 by the marchand-mercier Hébert to Madame de Mailly, mistress of Louis XV, for a room hung with blue and cream silk in her apartments at the château de Choisy. Both the encoignure, which is now in the Louvre, and the commode are illustrated P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIII^e Siècle, Paris, 1989, pp. 216 and 217
