Decoration of this type is extremely rare in Japanese export cabinets of this early date; it becomes more common in the late 18th Century. Another cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl that must have a comparatively early origin is in the Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm, Sweden (see: A. Setterwall et al., The Chinese Pavilion, Malmo, 1972, p.153)
