It is an intriguing phenomenon, that the distinctive gilt-bronze mounts which embellish Dutch furniture in the French style, were, in fact, rarely produced in Holland. Remarkably, these 'picturesque' mounts can be traced to Britain and appear in a sales catalogue of a Birmingham metalwork firm, which was almost certainly manufacturing mounts for export (R. Baarsen, ''In de commode van Parijs tot Den Haag', Matthijs Horrix (1735-1809), een meubelmakermaker in Den Haag in de tweede helft van de 18de eeuw', Oud Holland 107 (1993), p. 195).
