Lot Essay

The commode section, with its hipped angles, as well as the outward scrolling angles flanking the sloping writing-flap of this bureau-cabinet, closely relate to a Dresden bureau-cabinet attributed to either Michael Kümmel or Johann Gottfried Borlach at Schloss Kronberg (H. Kreisel, Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Munich, 1970, fig. 835).
