POSSIBLY BY MATTHIJS HORRIX, CIRCA 1775

Matthijs Horrix (1735-1809) was a leading cabinet-maker in The Hague. His neoclassical brass mounts were bought from English (almost certainly Birmingham) foundries, imported via Rotterdam. Almost identical mounts are shown in a late 18th century English pattern book, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, illustrated in an article on Horrix by R.J. Baarsen. See 'In de commode van Parijs tot Den Haag', Mathijs Horrix (1735-1809), een meubelmaker in Den Haag in de tweede helft van de achttiende eeuw', Oud Holland volume 107 (1993) pp.193-255, in particular p. 204, fig. 38. This Dutch-language article is also summarised in English in the same journal, pp. 251-255.
