Note du spécialiste

This piece relates to a group of armoires and bibliotheques by Bernard Van Risenburgh of an "Arc En Arbalete" outline with similar ormolu mounts. See a more elaborate one, stamped "B.V.R.B." formerly in the Patino Collection, and now in the Louvre. Another in the manner of B.V.R.B. in black lacquer in the Collection of Forsyth Wickes (See: C. Packer "Paris Furniture" 1956, fig. 85)
