The upper sections of these carved oak wall panels are reminiscent of the most refined and inventive boiserie carved panels of the 1720's. All of the carved elements, including the arabesque framing elements, trailing vegetation and carved shell motives are close to many hôtel particuliers of the early 1720's -- but the carved dragon heads on the trellis background are nearly identical to the trumeau de glace of the cabinet of the hôtel Peyrenc de Moras, originally 23 Place Vendôme and now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and which was built between 1720 and 1725 (B. Pons, De Paris A Versailles: 1699-1736: Les sculpteurs ornemanistes parisiens et l'art décoratif des Bâtiments du roi, Strasbourg, 1986, p. 230.
