The ormolu-enriched cabinet relates to the 'French Cabinet Furniture' promoted by the Soho cabinet-maker S. Jamar (C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, Leeds, 1996, p.35). S. Jamar designed and produced furniture in a confident French Empire style, suggesting he may have been trained, if not brought up on the Continent. By 1819 he was at 29 Wardour Street and advertised his works as 'equal to any made in Paris'. A related secretaire cabinet by S. Jamar was sold anonymously, Christie's, London, 13 June 2002, lot 185.
