The present bonheur du jour is based on a model by Adam Weisweiler. With its simplified form and refined bronze mounts - particularly the slender shaped column supports - it is emblematic of the great cabinetmaker's work. Weisweiler completed a number of versions of this model, occasionally embellishing the upper doors with porcelain plaques.
