The design of the richly scrolling, naturalistic floral marquetry panels, framed by distinctive arabesque borders, are derived from 17th century Flemish and French still life painters such as Ambrosius Bosschaert and Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer. It further relate this spectacular cabinet to the documented oeuvre of Pierre Gole (circa 1620-1684), who from 1656 was maître menuisier en ébène ordinaire du roi.
A flower-filled vase supported by a closely related monopodia-supported stand features on a cabinet attributed to Gole illustrated in Th. Lunsingh Scheurleer, Pierre Gole Ebéniste de Louis XIV, Dijon, 2005, pp. 137-141. Similar tied floral sprays to the drawer-fronts recur throughout Gole's oeuvre.
