Cf: Roselyne Bouvier, Majorelle, Une Aventure Moderne, Paris, 1991, p. 142, pl. 146 and p. 143, pl. 147 (Examples of comparable lacquered decoration illustrated)

Several examples of carved and lacquered furniture, most notably a grand piano by Auguste Majorelle, are in the permanent collections of the Muse de l'Ecole de Nancy (Cf: Alastair Duncan, op.cit., Pl. 2).
