Fidelys Schey, maître 5 February 1777.
A similar secrétaire à abattant, of smaller proportions, but with comparable panelled doors and fluted uprights is illustrated P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 786, fig. C.
Fidelys Schey was established in the rue Faubourg-Saint-Antoine with a sale room adjacent, which was run by his wife. Patronised by the Garde-Meuble, to whom he supplied two tables à jeux for the château de Fontainebleau, Schey worked almost exclusively with mahogany in the restrained Louis XVI 'Grecian' style.
