Note du spécialiste

This type of armoire is generally known as Schapp. A nearly identical armoire is in the Landesmuseum Oldenburg (H. Kreisel et al., Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Munich, 1968, fig. 490), while a further closely related armoire is in the Politzer Collection, Trieste (E. Baccheschi, Mobili Tedeschi, Milan, 1969, p. 69).

The Bergsten Collection was formed between 1900-1950 by Karl Bergsten (d. 1953), who furnished his superb house in Stockholm in the manner of an 18th Century Grand Tour connoisseur.
