The mounts and shape of the present lot relate closely to a Japanese lacquered commode by the celebrated ébéniste Joseph Baumhauer (d. 1772), now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (illustrated P. Kjellberg, Le Mobilier Français du XVIIIe Siècle, Paris, 1989, p. 453).

Identically-mounted examples of this model were known to be manufactured by Linke with inset Japanese lacquered panels, one of which was sold at Sotheby's London, 28 February 1997, lot 227 (£78,500) and another which is illustrated in C. Payne, François Linke 1855-1946: The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, Woodbridge, 2003, p. 505.
