This cabinet, surmounted by emblematic figures of Peace and Plenty and conceived in the French Renaissance manner of the Second Empire, was designed by the sculptor and artiste industriel Jean-Paul Mazarozer (d. 1900), of the the rue des Filles-du-Calvaire and executed at his workshops in the rue Ternaux-Popincourt, to which he succeeded from Pierre Ribailler (d. 1868) his partner and father-in-law. He helped to organise the 1865 Exhibition at the Union centrale des Arts decoratifs and was a silver medallist at the 1878 Exposition universelle. He also published a book of designs in the Renaissance style.
